Charlotte Church The Water Is Wide
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. Their love is plentive... o'er 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 rain it above it grows so cold And fades away like morning dew.
