The Water Is Wide (Live)

The Water Is Wide (Live) - Karla Bonoff

Written by：Trad. arranged/adapted by Karla Bonoff/Frank Hamilton

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

Oh 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

There is a 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 o'er

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
