The Water Is Wide

The water is wide

I can't cross over

And neither i

Have wings to fly

Give me a boat

That can carry two

And both shall row

My love and i



Now love is gentle

And love is kind

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

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 i

Have wings to fly

Give me a boat

That can carry two

And both shall row

My love and i

And both shall row

My love and i
