The Water Is Wide Lyrics

The Water Is Wide I Can Not Cross Over
And Neither Have I Wings To Fly
M M -
But Build Me A Boat That Can Carry Two
And Both Shall Roam My Love And I
A Ship There Is And She Sails The Sea
Sailing As Deep As Deep Can Be
M M -
But Not So Deep As The Love I Am In
I Know Not How I Sink Or Swim
I Leaned My Back Against Some Young Oak
Thinking That He Was A Trusty Tree
M M -
But First He Bent And Then He Broke
And Thus Did My False Lo Ve And Me
I Put My Hand Into Some Soft Greens
Thinking The Sweetest Flower To Find
M M -
I Pricked My Fin - Ger 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
M M -
But Love Grows Old, And Waxes Cold
And Fades Away, Like Summer Dew
The Seagulls Wheel, They Turn And Dive
- s
The Mountain Stands Beside Th E Sea
M M -
This World We Know Turns Round And Round
s s
And All For Them - And You And Me.
