HAYLEY WESTENRA - The Water Is Wide lyrics

rate me

The water is wide

I cannot get over

And neither have

I wings to fly

Give me a boat

That'll carry two

And both shall row

My love and I

There love is planted

Oh, there it grows

It grows and blossoms

Like a rose

It has a sweet

And pleasant smell

No flower on earth

Can it excel

The ship there is

And she sails the sea

She's loaded deep

As deep can be

But not so deep

Was the love I knew

I know not if

I sink or swim

[Music]

Oh, love is gentle

Love is kind

The sweetest flower

When first is new

But love grows old

It waxes cold

And fades away

Like morning dew
