Orla Fallon - The Water Is Wide lyrics

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
