Jewel - The Water Is Wide lyrics

rate me

The water is wide I cant cross o'er<br>And neither I have wings to fly<br>Give me a boat that can carry two<br>And both shall row - my love and i<br><br>Now love is gentle love is kind<br>The sweetest flower when first it's new<br>But love grows cold and waxes cold<br>And fades away like morning dew<br><br>There is a ship she sails the sea<br>Shes loaded deep as deep as can be<br>But not as deep as the love I'm in<br>I know not how I sink or swim<br><br>The water is wide I cant cross o'er<br>And neither I have wings to fly<br>Give me a boat that can carry two<br>And both shall row - my love and i<br>And both shall row - my love and i<br><br>------------------------------------<br>The water is wide<br>Original lyrics<br><br>The water is wide. I cannot get o'er<br>And neither have I wings to fly<br>Give me a boat that can carry two<br>And both shall row my love and i<br><br>I leaned my back up against an oak<br>I thought it was a trusty tree<br>But first it swayed and then it broke<br>And so my false love did unto me<br><br>Oh love is handsome and love is kind<br>And love's a jewel when it is new<br>But love grows old and waxes cold<br>And fades away like morning dew<br>Morning dew<br>Morning dew<br>Like morning dew
