“The Water is Wide.” Not the whole song, which is one of ten million folksongs about broken hearts, but this one verse: “There is a ship that sails the sea It’s laden deep as deep can be But not so deep as this love I’m in I know not if I sink or swim.” Fifteen Iguana ---

**Otto** , “Closing Time” is not by the horrible Gin Blossoms, but by the quite lovely Semisonic. And since we’re talking about Semisonic, I’ll say their song “One True Love” – And all through the party I want to leave All alone with one true love All of the lights are shining on me But all I want is one true love In this world I can see Many billions waiting in the sun So I’d love to believe There’d be one of us for everyone One of us for everyone Enough to go around But that’s not what I’ve found Huh. Maybe that’s more what I thought before. ---

I can’t think of a good example, but something so sweet and cheesy it would have made me vomit at any previous time in my life. I’m going to start dotting my “i”s with hearts any day now. The rational part of my brain knows it’s disgusting, but I can’t stop. Help me, please. ---
