The Water Is Wide

Lyrics

The water is wide, I cannot cross 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
 I leaned my back against an oak,
 Thinking it was a mighty tree,
 But first it bent, and then it broke
 Just as my love proved false to me
 There is a ship that sails 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
 Oh, love is handsome, love is kind
 Love is a jewel when it is new
 But when it's old, it grows so cold
 And fades away like morning dew
