Lyrics The Water Is Wide - The Barberettes

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have the wings to fly (fly)
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I

Oh, love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower
When first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away (and fades away) like morning dew

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have the wings to fly (fly)
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
And both shall row my love and I
