The Water Is Wide
Rory Block
Continues after the ad
The water is wide I cannot cross over
And neither have I the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And boat shall row, my love and I
Oh, 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
Continues after the ad
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 not how I sink or swim
The water is wide I can't cross over
And neither have I the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And boat shall row, my love and I
And boat shall row, my love and I
