Eva Cassidy - The Water Is Wide lyrics

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
