The Water Is Wide lyrics

The water is wide

And I cannot cross over

Nor do I have wings to fly

Build me a boat

That could carry two

And both shall row

My love and I

There is a ship

And she sails the seas

She's burdened deep

As deep can be

But not as deep

As the love I'm in

And I know not if

I sink or swim

But love is gentle

And love is kind

As to a jewel

When first it's new

But love grows old

And it fades with time

And it fades away

Like morning dew

Build me a boat

That could carry two

And both shall row

My love and I

My love and I

My love and I
