The Water Is Wide

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And I shall row, my love and I

Love is gentle, love is kind
The sweetest flower when first in bloom
But love grows old, it waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew

There is a ship, she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as she can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And I shall row, my love and I

There is a ship, she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as she can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And I shall row, my love and I

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And I shall row, my love and I

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And I shall row, my love and I
The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And I shall row, my love and I
