Water Is Wide

Water Is Wide - Marilyn Sellars

The water is wide I can't cross over

And neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love and I

Oh love is gentle and love is kind

The sweetest flower when first it's new

But love grows old and waxes cold

And fades away like morning dew

Where is the ship and she sails the sea

She's loaded deep as deep can be

But not as deep as the love I'm in

I know not how I sink or swim

The water is wide I can't cross over

And neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row my love and I

And both shall row my love and I
