The Water Is Wide Paroles

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
I sink or swim



But love is gentle

And love is kind

As to a jewel

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
