Lyrics for 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 Down in the meadow the other day A-gathering flowers both bright and gay Gathering flowers both red and blue I little thought what love could do There is a ship that sails the sea She's loaded deep, as deep can be But not so deep as the love I'm in I know not how I sink or swim For love is gentle and love is true And love's a pleasure when first it's new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like morning dew 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
