The Water Is Wide

The Water Is Wide - Izzy

The water is wide I cannot get o'er

And neither have I wings to fly

O go and get me some little boat

To carry o'er my true love and I

Must I be bound O and he go free

Must I love one thing that don't love me

Why should I act such a childish part

And love a man that will break my heart

There is a ship sailing on the sea

She's loaded deep as deep can be

But not so deep as in love I am

I care not if I sink or swim

O love is handsome and love is fine

And love is charming when it is true

As it grows older it groweth colder

And fades away like the morning dew
