The Water Is Wide Lyrics

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 both shall row, my love and I
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e93853-susanna_hoffs~the_water_is_wide_lyrics.html ]
There is a ship that sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim

I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
So did my love so false to me

The water is wide, I can't get o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

The water is wide, I can't get o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
