The water is wide. I can't cross over
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 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 or swim
The water is wide. I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
(Karla Bonoff- Water is wide)
