Lyrics for Song: The Water Is Wide
Lyrics for Album: River Of Dreams - Very Best Of [2008]
The water is wide
I cannot get over
And neither have
I wings to fly
Give me a boat
That'll carry two
And both shall row
My love and I
There love is planted
Oh, there it grows
It grows and blossoms
Like a rose
It has a sweet
And pleasant smell
No flower on earth
Can it excel
The ship there is
And she sails the sea
She's loaded deep
As deep can be
But not so deep
Was the love I knew
I know not if
I sink or swim
[Music]
Oh, love is gentle
Love is kind
The sweetest flower
When first is new
But love grows old
It waxes cold
And fades away
Like morning dew
