The Water Is Wide Lyrics

The water is wide I can't cross o'er
And neither have our wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row my love and I
Oh love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and the wax is 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'm in
I know not if I sink or swim
The water is wide I can't cross o'er
And neither have our wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row my love and I
And both shall row my love and I
