I heard this at the end of an episode of Mad Men a few weeks ago and was immediately drawn to it. There’s something completely wonderful about finding a chestnut by an artist you think you already know very well. The is the sound of New York City entering autumn. Keep hitting play and watch the leaves turn. 

Pete Seeger performs "The Water is Wide"

The water is wide, I cannot get over,
And neither have I wings to fly,
Give me a boat that can carry two,
And both shall row - my love and I.

A ship there was, and she sails the sea,
She's loaded deep as deep can be,
But not so deep as the love I'm in,
And I know not how, I sink or swim.

I leaned my back up against some young oak,
Thinking he was a trusty tree,
But first he bended and then he broke,
And thus did my false love to me.

I put my hand into some soft bush,
Thinking the sweetest flower to find.
I pricked my finger to the bone,
And left the sweetest flower alone.

Oh, love is handsome, love is fine,
Gay as a jewel, when first it is new,
But love grows old, and waxes cold,
And fades away, like summer dew.

Peter, Paul & Mary - “If I Had A Hammer”
