The Water Is Wide Songtext
von Jane Siberry

The water is wide, I can′t cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And two shall row, my love and I

There is a ship that sails the sea
It′s laden deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim


And when we've come to life′s sweet end
Two hearts which naught but death could part

Will we be wed in a life to come
Or must we lie, the water wide
Or must we lie fore′er apart?

The water is wide, I can't cross o′er
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row
Two hearts shall flow
My love and I
