The Water Is Wide lyrics

I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat I 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 so deep as the love I'm in
I know not how
I sink or swim

Oh love is handsome And love is kind
And love is a flower when first is new
But love grows old and wax is cold
And fades away
Like morning dew
