The Water Is Wide lyrics

Artist Charlotte Church
Album(s) Enchantment

Lyrics

The water is wide, I can not get o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row... my love and i

Where love is planted, o there it grows
It grows and blossoms like a rose;
It has a sweet and pleasant smell
No flower on earth can it excel

The ship there is 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 if I sink or swim

Oh, love is handsome and love is fine
And loves a jewel when it is new
*But when it is old it grows so cold*
And fades away like morning dew
