The Water Is Wide (acoustic) Lyrics - Eva Cassidy

The water is wide I can not get o'er, 

And neither have I wings to fly, 

Give me a boat that will carry two, 

O love is handsom and love is fine, 

And love's a jewel when it's first new, 

But love grows old then waxes gold, 

And fades away like morning dew, 

There is a ship it's sailing the sea, 

It's loaded deep as deep can be, 

But not so deep as the love I'm in, 

I know not if I sink or swim, 

The water is wide I can not 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,
