The Water Is Wide - Orla Fallon
The water is wide I can't cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And we shall sail my love and I
Oh love is gentle and love is kind
And love's a flower when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
There is a ship and 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 o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And we shall sail my love and I
