The Water Is Wide

The Water Is Wide
Eva Cassidy
The water is wide. I cannot get o''er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
Oh love is handsome and love is kind
And love''s a jewel when it''s first new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
There is a ship it''s sailing the sea
It''s loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as my love for him
I know not if I sink or swim
The water is wide. I cannot get o''er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
And both shall row my love and I
