The Water Is Wide

The water is wide, I can't cross o'er

And neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And we shall sail, my love and I



When 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

Shes 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 o'er

And neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And we shall sail, my love and I
