THE WATER IS WIDE                                             ©2026

The water is wide  I can't cross over

And neither have I wings to fly

Build me a boat   That can carry two

And both shall row  My love and I

 

There is a ship   And she sails the sea

She's loaded deep As deep can be

But not as deep    As the love I'm in

I know not how     I sink or swim

 

Oh love is handsome And love is fine

The sweetest flower When first it's new

But love grows old And waxes cold

And fades away    Like morning dew

Instrumental
 

Build me a boat      That can carry two

And both shall row        My love and I
And both shall row        My love and I
