Fred Neil - The Water is Wide lyrics

The water is wide And I cannot cross over Nor do I have wings to fly Build me a boat That could carry two And both shall row My love and I There is a ship And she sails the seas She's burdened deep As deep can be But not as deep As the love I'm in And I know not if I sink or swim But love is gentle And love is kind As to a j**el When first it's new But love grows old And it fades with time And it fades away Like morning dew Build me a boat That could carry two And both shall row My love and I My love and I My love and I
