    RIP Garth Hudson, who played the gorgeous emotional accordion solo on this beautiful song. ❤

    When I was a child my cat was missing. I looked everywhere. I went out back and she was on the other side of the Sanibel River just staring at me. I searched and found a piece of wood. Brought her back home. For some reason this song reminds me of her she's in heaven with my Mom.

      James Taylor included this song on his album after touring with Karla in the early 80s.

      ... and the now immortal Garth Hudson on accordion. I can't get good separation on the mix here though to hear the accordion properly.

    Years ago I taught a music theory class for non-music majors at the University of New Mexico, and when we reached the point in the semester in which we were learning about suspension/resolution I always used this gorgeous song as an example of that concept. James Taylor sings harmony in the third and fourth verses, and on the word "have" he sings a second below Karla, resolving down to a third in an absolutely stunning moment in this tune. Set as it is in a texture that is mostly consonant and sweet, the dissonance of that suspension is bittersweet and lovely at the same time. My students loved this song, one of them even having it at her wedding!

    • @MattJocks

      The vocal part of J.D. Souther is a wonderful complement to Karla and James. And Garth Hudson single-handedly making an argument against all the accordian-haters.

      Yes, this is one of life‘s great ironies one of life‘s great mysteries. She should’ve been as big or even bigger than Linda, and others of that elk ! The same could be said of someone like Dan, Fogelberg, or Jeff Lynne or Bonnie Raitt. I just don’t get it either. She’s incredible.

    • @firewaterbydesign

      That's because everyone thought back then that her music was Linda Ronstadt. Linda sang Karla's music, but the REAL talent was Karla!!!

    >
    The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
    And neither I have wings to fly
    Give me a boat that can carry two
    And both shall row my love and I
    The love is gentle, and love is kind
    The sweetest flower when first it's new
    But love grows old, and waxes cold
    And fades away like morning dew
    There is a ship, and she sails the sea
    She's loaded deep as deep can be
    But not as deep as the love I made
    I know not how I'll sink or swim
    The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
    And neither I have wings to fly
    Give me a boat that can carry two
    And both shall row my love and I
    And both shall row my love and I..
    2023 everyone..!!!! 😄💫✨

    Good bye Dawn. My first love, I've lost you to the ages too soon. We enjoyed the ride across the waters and now you go onward without me.
    My wild grief bleeds out of me but through tears, I smile. For even though we never came to be, I'm so glad we discovered before your journey Home that we could have been, and even through it all .. we remained the greatest of friends. I never stole the kiss you offered so long ago no matter how I yearned to, and we knew it was better that way.
    Dance with joy, your pain gone, and be at peace, darling. The water's not that wide .. see you soon in the morning.

    The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
    Neither have I wings to fly
    Give me a boat that can carry two
    And both shall cross my true love and I
    I lean'd my back against an oak
    Thinking it was a mighty tree
    But first it bent and then it broke
    So did my love prove false to me
    I put my hand in some soft bush
    Thinking the sweetest flow'are to find
    I prick'd my finger to the bone
    And left the sweetest flow'are behind
    O love is handsome and love is kind
    Gay as a jewel when it is new
    But love grows old and waxes cold
    And fades away like the morning dew
    The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
    Neither have I wings to fly
    Give me a boat that can carry two
    And both shall cross my true love and I
