Luka Bloom - The Water Is Wide lyrics

The water is wide, I can't swim over Neither have I wings to fly Build me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, my love and I There is a ship, it sails on the sea Out on the deep as deep can be But not as deep as the love I'm in And on that boat I'll sink or swim I leaned my back up against that boat Thinking it was a trusty tree But first it bent and then it broke Just like my own false love to me Oh love is gentle, and love is kind Gay as a j**el, when first it's new When love grows old, still it carries on But it sometimes fades like the morning dew The water is wide, I can't swim over And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, my love and I And both shall row, my love and I
