Chris Hillman – The Water Is Wide lyrics
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 kind Shines
like a jewel When
first it's new But
love grows cold And
love grows old And
lights my life Like
the morning dew 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
