The Water Is Wide (Live at Boston Music Hall, Boston, MA - November 21, 1975 - Evening) (Live)

The Water Is Wide (Live) - Bob Dylan

The water is wide an' I can't cross over

Neither have I wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love an' I

There is a ship an' she sails on the sea

Loaded deep as deep can be

But not as deep as the love I'm in

And know not how I sink or swim

I leaned my back up against some oak

Thinkin' it was a trusty tree

But first it bent an' then it broke

Just like my own false love to me

Oh love is gentle love is kind

Gay as a jewel when first it's new

But love grows old an' waxes cold

An' fades away like some morning dew

The water is wide an' I can't cross over

Neither have I wings to fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love an' I
