Jewel - The Water Is Wide lyrics

The water is wide I cant cross o'er

And neither I have wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row - my love and i

Now love is gentle love is kind

The sweetest flower when first it's new

But love grows cold and waxes cold

And fades away like morning dew

There is a ship she sails the sea

Shes loaded deep as deep as can be

But not as deep as the love I'm in

I know not how I sink or swim

The water is wide I cant cross o'er

And neither I have 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

The water is wide

Original 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

I leaned my back up against an oak

I thought it was a trusty tree

But first it swayed and then it broke

And so my false love did unto me

Oh love is handsome and love is kind

And love's a jewel when it is new

But love grows old and waxes cold

And fades away like morning dew

Morning dew

Morning dew

Like morning dew
