The Water Is Wide (With Bobby Richards And His Orchestra) [2009 Remaster] (2009 Digital Remaster)

The Water is Wide - The Seekers

The water is wide I can't 'cross o'er

Nor do I have light wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love and I

A ship there is and sails the sea

She's loaded deep as deep can be

But not so deep as the love I'm in

And I know not how

I sink or swim

When love is young and love is fine

It's like a gen

When first it's new

But love grows old and waxes cold

And fades away

Like the morning dew

The water is wide I can't 'cross o'er

Nor do I have light wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love and I
