The Water Is Wide |
|
Eva Cassidy |
|
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 |
|
Oh love is handsome and love is kind |
|
And love\'s a jewel when it\'s first new |
|
But love grows old and waxes cold |
|
And fades away like morning dew |
|
There is a ship it\'s sailing the sea |
|
It\'s loaded deep as deep can be |
|
But not so deep as my love for him |
|
I know not if I sink or swim |
|
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 |
|
And both shall row my love and I |
