The Water is Wide歌词

The Water is Wide - Peter Hollens
The water is wide I can't cross over

And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two and both shall row

My love and I
There is a ship and she sails the sea

She's loaded deep
As deep can be

But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim

Oh love is handsome and love is kind

The sweetest flower when first it's new

But love grows old and waxes cold

And fades away like morning dew

Can't cross the water My true love and I
(No wings to fly)
No wings to fly The water is wide
I can't cross over and neither have I wings to fly (to fly)
Build me a boat that can carry two and both shall row
My love and I (my love and I)
And both shall row
My love and I (my love and I)
