The Water Is Wide Lyrics
The water is wide, I cannot cross o’er
And neither have I wings to fly
Oh, build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
There is a ship and she sails the seas
She’s laden deep, as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I’m in
I know not if I sink or swim
Oh, love is handsome, and love is fine
Bright 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, I cannot cross o’er
And neither have I the wings to fly
Oh, build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
The water is wide, I cannot cross o’er
And neither have I the wings to fly
Oh, build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
There is a ship and she sails the seas
She’s laden deep, as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I’m in
I know not if I sink or swim
Oh, love is handsome, and love is fine
Bright 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, I cannot cross o’er
And neither have I the wings to fly
Oh, build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
The water is wide, I cannot cross o’er
And neither have I wings to fly
Oh, build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
There is a ship and she sails the seas
She’s laden deep, as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I’m in
I know not if I sink or swim
Oh, love is handsome, and love is fine
Bright 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, I cannot cross o’er
And neither have I the wings to fly
Oh, build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
The water is wide, I cannot cross o’er
And neither have I the wings to fly
Oh, build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
There is a ship and she sails the seas
She’s laden deep, as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I’m in
I know not if I sink or swim
Oh, love is handsome, and love is fine
Bright 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, I cannot cross o’er
And neither have I the wings to fly
Oh, build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
