The Water Is Wide Songtext
von The Seekers

The water is wide, I can′t cross o'er
Nor do I have light wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I


A ship there is, and sails the sea
She′s loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
And I know not how I sink or swim

When love is young, and love is fine
It's like a gen, when first it′s new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew

The water is wide, I can′t cross o'er
Nor do I have light wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
