The Water Is Wide Songtext
von Órla Fallon

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


Oh, love is gentle and love is kind
And love′s a 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 o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And we shall sail, my love and I
