The Irish Tenors - The Water Is Wide lyrics

The water's wide, I can't swim o'er And nor have I the wings to fly Build me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, my love and I Now love is gentle, love is kind It's like a flower when first it's new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like morning dew There is a ship, she sails the sea She's laden deep, as deep can be But not as deep as the love I'm in I know not where I'll sink or swim The water's wide I can't swim o'er And nor have I the wings to fly Build me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, my love and I
