The Water Is Wide |
«The Water is Wide» is a traditional folk song. |
The girls have been |
performing it now and then for years and years. |
I’ve been lucky |
enough to see Mary-Chapin Carpenter add a beautiful third part to the |
harmony on a few occasions. |
The Water is Wide. |
The water is wide, I can’t cross o’er |
And neither I have wings to fly |
Give me a boat that can carry two |
And both shall row — my love and I |
Now 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, 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 I have wings to fly |
Give me a boat that can carry two |
And both shall row — my love and I |
And both shall row — my love and I. |
