The Water Is Wide

The Water Is Wide - Pat Surface

The water is wide

I can't cross over

And neither have I wings to fly

Build me a boat

That we'll carry two

And both shall row my love and I

There is a ship

And she sails the sea

She's loaded deep

As deep can be

But deep I still

As the love I'm in

I know not how I sink or swim

Oh love is gentel and love is kind

And love is young when love fars now

But love grows old and they grows cold

And fades away like morning dew

The water is wide I can't cross over

And neither I have wings to fly

Give me a boat that we'll carry two

And both shall row my love and I
