The Water is Wide

about

A beautiful folk song

lyrics

The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
Neither have I the wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my true love and I

A ship there is, and she sails the sea
She's laden deep, as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
And I know not if I sink or swim

I leaned my back against a young oak
Thinking it were a trusty tree
But first it bended and then it broke
Thus did my love prove false to me

Oh love is handsome and love is fine
Bright as a jewel when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away with morning dew
