The Water is Wide (feat. Peter Mathers, Kiki Misumi, Rick McCormick)

The Water is Wide - Peter Mathers/Kiki Misumi/Rick McCormick

The water is wide I can't cross over

And neither have I wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love and I

There is a ship let's sails the sea

She's loaded down as deep can be

But not so deep as the love I'm in

I know not how I sink or swim

I leaned my back against a young oak

Thinking he was a trusty tree

But first he bended and then he broke

And thus my love prove false to me

Oh love is gentle and love is kind

Just like a jewel when when first it is new

But love grows old and waxes oh so cold

And fades away like morning dew

The water is wide I can't cross over

And neither have I the wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love and I

My love and I

My love and I
