Annie Moscow: Songs

The Water is Wide

(Annie Moscow)
December 1, 2009

There is a ship

And she sail the sea

She's loaded deep

As deep can be

But not as deep

As the love I'm in

I know not if

I sink or swim

 

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

 

The water is wide

I cannot cross

And nor have I 

The wings to fly

Build me a boat

That can carry two

And both shall row

My love and I
