The Water Is Wide / Karla Bonoff

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.   Luchen & Andrew   There is a ship and she sails to 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. And both shall row, my love and I.
