The Water Is Wide Songtext
von Eleanor Tomlinson
The Water Is Wide Songtext
The water is wide, I can not 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
A ship there is 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 if I sink or swim
Oh love is fair, and love is fine
The sweetest flower when first it′s new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
A ship there is 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 if I sink or swim
Oh love is fair, and love is fine
The sweetest flower when first it′s new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
