Lyric The Water Is Wide

The water is wide I can t cross over
And neither have I got wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I

Oh love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it s new
But the only love never waxing cold
Is the love He offers to me and you

Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I

There s a ship and she sails the sea
She s loaded deep as deep can be
And even deeper than the love I m in
If I step on board then our love begins
Got to step on board let our love begin
(Water is wide and I ve got to cross over)
