Annie Moscow: Songs
The Water is Wide
(Annie Moscow)

traditional
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
