Jane Siberry The Water Is Wide Lyrics

The Water Is Wide Lyrics

The water is wide, I can`t cross o`er 
And neither have I wings to fly 
Build me a boat that can carry two 
And two shall row, my love and I 
 
There is a ship that sails the sea 
It`s laden deep as deep can be 
But not as deep as the love I`m in 
I know not if I sink or swim 
 
And when we`ve come to life`s sweet end 
Two hearts which naught but death could part 
Will we be wed in a life to come 
Or must we lie, the water wide 
Or must we lie fore`er apart? 
 
The water is wide, I can`t cross o`er 
And neither have I wings to fly 
Build me a boat that can carry two 
And both shall row 
Two hearts shall flow 
My love and I
