song lyrics
The Water Is Wide lyrics
The water is wide, I can not get 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.
Their love is plentive... o er there it grows
It grows and blossoms like a rose
It has a sweet and pleasant smell
No flower on earth can it excel.
The ship there is and she sails the sea
She 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 and love is fine
And loves a jewel when it is new
But rain it above it grows so cold
And fades away like morning dew.
