The Water Is Wide by Indigo Girls

The water is wide
I can't cross over
And neither i
Have wings to fly
Give me a boat
That can carry two
And both shall row
My love and i

Now love is gentle
And love is kind
The sweetest flower
When first it's new
But love grows old
And waxes cold
And fades away
Like morning dew

There is a ship
She sails the sea
She's loaded deep
As deep can be
But not as 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 i
Have wings to fly
Give me a boat
That can carry two
And both shall row
My love and i
And both shall row
My love and i
