The Water Is Wide lyrics
Song information
Artist: Karla Bonoff Album: Restless Nights
Lyrics
The water is wide I cannot swim ore And neither have i The wings to fly Give me a boat That can carry two And we both shall row My true love and i
A ship there is And she sails the seas She's laden deep As deep can be But not so deep As the love I'm in And I know not if I sink or swim
I leaned my back Against a young oak Thinkin he was A trusty tree But first he bended And then he broke Thus did my love Prove false to me
Oh love is handsome And love is kind Bright as a jewl When first it's new But love grows old And waxes cold And fades away Like the morning dew
And fades away Like the morning dew
