The Water Is Wide by James Taylor

The Water Is Wide Lyrics

[00:05.46] The water is wide, I can't cross over
[00:15.11] And neither have I wings to fly
[00:25.04] Build me a boat that can carry two
[00:34.82] And both shall row, my love and I
[00:45.07] There is a ship, and she sails the sea
[00:54.81] She's loaded deep, as deep can be
[01:05.45] But not so deep as the love I'm in
[01:15.48] I know not how I sink or swim
[01:25.53] O, love is handsome and love is fine
[01:35.49] The sweetest flower when first it's new
[01:45.55] But love grows old and waxes cold
[01:55.26] And fades away like summer dew
[02:03.98]
[02:20.01] Build me a boat that can carry two
[02:29.88] And both shall row, my love and I
[02:39.87] And both shall row, my love and I
[02:49.02]
