The Water Is Wide Lyrics & Chords By Among The Oak & Ash

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

Now there's a ship
And she sails the seas
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

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

Love is handsome
And love is fine
As a jewel
When first it's new
But love grows old
And waxes cold
And fades away
Like summer dew

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