Water Is Wide — текст песни (Karla Bonoff)

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

Oh, love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it`s new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew

There is a ship and she sails the sea
She`s loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I`m in
I know not how I sink or swim

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
