The Water Is Wide Lyrics - American Tune - Eva Cassidy

The water is wide 

I cannot get 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 

O love is handsomeand love is fine 

And love's a jewel while its first new 

But love grows old, and white's so cold 

And fades away like morning dew

there is a ship, its sailing the sea 

It's loaded deep as deep can be 

but not so deep as my love for him 

I know not if I sink or swim

The water is wide 

I cannot get o'er 

and neither have I wings to fly 

Give me a boat that will carry two 

And both shall row my love and I 

And both shall row my love and I
