The Water Is Wide

The water's wide, I can't swim o'er

And nor have I the wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row, my love and INow love is gentle, love is kind

It's like a flower when first it's new

But love grows old and waxes cold

And fades away like morning dewThere is a ship, she sails the sea

She's laden deep, as deep can be

But not as deep as the love I'm in

I know not where I'll sink or swimThe water's wide I can't swim o'er

And nor have I the wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row, my love and I
