Karla Bonoff - The Water Is Wide

The water is wide

I can't cross over
and neither have

I wing to fly

give me a boat

that can carry two

and both shallrow

my love and I

Oh 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 not how

I sink on swim
The water is wide
I can't cross over
and neither have
I wing to fly
give me a boat
that can carry two
and both shallrow

my love and I
and both shallrow

my love and I
