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 I lean my back against some oak Thinking it was a trusty tree But first it bent And then it broke As my own love Proved false to me Build me a boat That can carry two And both shall row My love and i And both shall row My love and i Love grows cold As it grows old 'Till it fades away Like the morning dew And the water is wide I can't cross over Neither have I wings to fly Build me a boat That can carry two Both shall roll My love and I We both shall roll My love and I
