The Water Is Wide Lyrics

The water is wide
I cannot get over
And neither have
I wings to fly
Give me a boat
That'll carry two
And both shall row
My love and I

There love is planted
Oh, there it grows
It grows and blossoms
Like a rose
It has a sweet
And pleasant smell
No flower on earth
Can it excel

The ship there isHayley Westenra - The Water Is Wide - http://motolyrics.com/hayley-westenra/the-water-is-wide-lyrics.html
And she sails the sea
She's loaded deep
As deep can be
But not so deep
Was the love I knew
I know not if
I sink or swim

[Music]

Oh, love is gentle
Love is kind
The sweetest flower
When first is new
But love grows old
It waxes cold
And fades away
Like morning dew
