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.
