Water Is Wide Lyric by Steve Goodman

Water Is Wide Lyric

by Steve Goodman

Lyric:



The Water Is Wide

I Can'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

She's Loaded Deep

As Deep Can Be

But Not So Deep

As The Love I'm In

I Know Not How

I Sink Or Swim



Oh Love Is Handsome

And Love Is Fine

The Sweetest Flower

When First It's New

But Love Grows Old

And Waxes Cold

And Fades Away

Like Summer Dew



I Lean My Back Against Some Oak

Thinking It Was A Trusty Tree

But First It Bent

And Then It Broke

As My Own Love

Proved False To Me



Build Me A Boat

That Can Carry Two

And Both Shall Row

My Love And I

And Both Shall Row

My Love And I



Love Grows Cold

As It Grows Old

'till It Fades Away

Like The Morning Dew

And The Water Is Wide

I Can't Cross Over

Neither Have I Wings To Fly

Build Me A Boat

That Can Carry Two

Both Shall Roll

My Love And I

We Both Shall Roll

My Love And I
