Lake Charlevoix

The water is wide

And I cannot get over

And neither have I

The wings to fly

I'll build a boat

That we both can row

And we shall leave

Lake Charlevoix

Oh, you are so hand-

Some, kind and sweet

There is no love

For you but me

But still my heart

It beats for both

My love and my

Lake Charlevoix

Still if you go

I will go with you

You are my love

And my love holds fast

All that I ask

Build me a boat

As pretty as

Lake Charlevoix

Give her blue sails

Of silk and sun

The fog rolling in

Late afternoon

The rising moon

And the smell of pinе

For I'll not leave

All that behind

And see hеr hull

Is iron ore

For iron are

The hills of home

And iron is

The chain that holds

Me to my own

Lake Charlevoix

Ah love, my love

I see you will not go

There is no boat

So wide and deep

That it could keep

The love you hold

For the hills of home

And Lake Charlevoix

So I will stay

And let your eyes

Be my blue sky

And my soft rain

I will remain

How could I go

For you are my

Lake Charlevoix

I will remain

How could I go

For you are my

Lake Charlevoix
