The Water Is Wide (Arr. R. Clausen for Choir) [Live]

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 both shall row, my love and I

Oh love is gentle
And love is fine
The sweetest flower
When first it's new
But love grows old
And waxes 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 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 both shall row, my love and I
