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 then waxes cold
And fades away like a morning dew

There's a ship and she sails the sea
she's loaded deep as deep can be
but not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or 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
