The Water is Wide

Lyrics

The water is wide,
 I can't cross over,
 And neither have I wings to fly.
 Build me a boat
 That can carry two
 And both shall row, my love and I.
 There is a ship
 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 how I sink or swim.
 Oh love is handsome
 And love is fine,
 The sweetest flower
 When first it's new.
 But love grows old
 And waxes cold
 And fades away like Summer dew.
 Build me a boat
 That can carry two
 And both shall row, my love and I,
 And both shall row, my love and I.
