The Water Is Wide Lyrics - Keith Urban

1 The water is wide, I can't cross o'er,

2 And neither have I the wings to fly.

3 Give me a boat, that will carry two,

4 And both shall row, my love and I.

5 Oh love is handsome, and love is kind,

6 Shining bright like a jewel, when first its new;

7 But love grows old, and waxes cold,

8 And fades away, like morning dew.

9 There is a ship, and she sails the sea,

10 She's loaded deep, as deep can be,

11 But not as deep as the love I'm in.

12 I know not if I sink or swim.

13 The water is wide, I can't cross o'er,

14 And neither have I the wings to fly.

15 Give me a boat, that will carry two,

16 And both shall row, my love and I.
