Lyric The Water Is Wide

I
The water is wide, I can t cross o er
Ad neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And we shall row, my love and I

II
For love is gentle, 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

III
There is a ship and she sails the sea
She s loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I m in
I know now how I sink or swim

Repeat II then I
