The Water Is Wide Lyrics

The water is wide I can not get 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

Where love is planted O there it grows

It grows and blossoms like a rose

It has a sweet and pleasant smell

No flower on Earth can it excel

A ship there is 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 if I sink or swim

O love is handsome and love is fine

And love's a jewel while it is new

But when it is old it grows so cold

And fades away like morning dew
