The Water Is Wide (Live) Lyrics

The Water Is Wide(Live) (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
