The Water Is Wide

James Taylor James Taylor

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 so 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 Summer dew

Build me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I
