The Water Is Wide Songtext
von Emi Fujita

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 a 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 if 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.
