James Taylor — The Water Is Wide lyrics

Lyrics

The water is wide
I canЂ™t cross over
And neither have
I wings to fly
Build me a boat
That can carry two
And both shall row
My love and i There is a ship
And she sails the sea
SheЂ™s loaded deep
As deep can be But not so deep
As the love IЂ™m in I know not how
I sink or swim
Oh love is handsome
And love is fine
The sweetest flower
When first itЂ™s new
But love grows old
And waxes cold
And fades away
Like summer dew
Build me a boat
That can carry two
And both shall row
My love and i And both shall row
My love and i
