Lyrics for The Water Is Wide
The water is wide and I can't cross over Neither have I wings that I could fly Build me a boat that could carry two And both shall row my love and I There is a ship and she sails on the sea She's loaded down as deep can be But not as deep as the love I'm in And I know not if I sink or swim I leaned my back up against an oak Thinkin' it was a trusty tree But first it bent and then it broke Just like my own false love to me Oh, love is gentle and love is kind Gay as a jewel when first it's new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like the morning dew The water is wide and I can't cross over Neither have I wings that I could fly Build me a boat that could carry two And both shall row my love and I
