James Taylor - The Water Is Wide lyrics

Album: New Moon Shine (1991)

The water is wide
I cannot cross o´er
And neither I´ve wings to fly
build me a boat that can carry two
and both shall row my love & I

There´s a ship
and she sails the sea
She has loaded deep
as deep can be
but not so deep as the love i am in
i know not how I sink or swim

O love´s handsome & love´s fine
the sweetest flower when 1st it is new
but love grows old & waxes cold
and fades away like summer dew

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