Water Is Wide
The water is wide
I cannot swim ore
and neither have I
the wings to fly
give me a boat
that can carry two
and we both shall row
my true love and I
A ship there is
and she sails the seas
she's laden deep
as deep can be
but not so deep
as the love I'm in
and I know not if
i sink or swim
I leaned my back
against a young oak
thinkin he was a trusty tree
but first he bended
and then he broke
thus did my love
prove false to me
Songtexte
Oh love is handsome and love is kind
bright as a jewl
when first it's new
but love grows old
and waxes cold
and fades away
like the morning dew
and fades away
like the morning dew
