Lyrics - THE WATER IS WIDE Eva Cassidy The water is wide I can not get over And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that will carry two And both shall row my love and I. O love is handsome and love is fine And love's a jewel when it's first new But love grows old then waxes gold And fades away like morning dew. There is a ship it's sailing the sea It's loaded deep as deep can be But not so deep as my love for him I know not if I sink or swim. The water is wide I can not get over And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that will carry two And both shall row my love and I.
