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 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 waxes cold
|
and fades away like morning dew
|
|
There is a ship and she sails the sea
|
She is loaded deep as deep can be
|
but not as deep as the love I'm in
|
I know not how I sink on 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
|
|
and both shall row my love and I.
