The Water Is Wide Lyrics
The water is wide, I cannot cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a mighty tree
But first it bent, and then it broke
Just as my love proved false to me
There is a ship that sails the sea
It's loaded deep, as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim
Oh, love is handsome, love is kind

Love is a jewel when it is new
But when it's old, it grows so cold
And fades away like morning dew
