The Water Is Wide Lyrics - Jane Siberry

The water is wide, I can't cross o'er 

And neither have I wings to fly 

Build me a boat that can carry two 

And two shall row, my love and I 

There is a ship that sails the sea 

It's laden deep as deep can be 

But not as deep as the love I'm in 

I know not if I sink or swim 

And when we've come to life's sweet end 

Two hearts which naught but death could part 

Will we be wed in a life to come 

Or must we lie, the water wide 

Or must we lie fore'er apart? 

The water is wide, I can't cross o'er 

And neither have I wings to fly 

Build me a boat that can carry two 

And both shall row 

Two hearts shall flow 

My love and I
