The water is wide I cant cross o'er And neither I have wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And both shall row - my love and i
Now love is gentle love is kind The sweetest flower when first it's new But love grows cold and waxes cold And fades away like morning dew
There is a ship she sails the sea Shes loaded deep as deep as can be But not as deep as the love I'm in I know not how I sink or swim
The water is wide I cant cross o'er And neither I have 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
------------------------------------ The water is wide Original lyrics
The water is wide. I cannot get o'er And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And both shall row my love and i
I leaned my back up against an oak I thought it was a trusty tree But first it swayed and then it broke And so my false love did unto me
Oh love is handsome and love is kind And love's a jewel when it is new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like morning dew Morning dew Morning dew Like morning dew
