The Water Is Wide Lyrics - Celtic Treasure - Hayley Westenra

The water is wide, I cannot get o'er 

Neither have I wings to fly 

Give me a boat that can carry two 

And both shall row, my love and I 

Where love is planted O there it grows 

It grows and blossoms like a rose 

It has a sweet and pleasant smell 

No flower on Earth can it excel 

A ship there is and she sails the sea 

She'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

Oh love is gentle and love is kind 

The sweetest flower when first it is new 

But love grows old and waxes cold 

And fades away like the morning dew
