The Water Is Wide Lyrics - Mary Black

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

Ad neither have I wings to fly 

Give me a boat that can carry two 

And we shall row, my love and I 

For love 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 now how I sink or swim 

For love 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
