The Water Is Wide Lyrics
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
Where love is planted O there it grows
It grows and blossoms like a rose
It has a sweet and pleasant smell
No flower on Earth can it excel
A 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
O love is handsome and love is fine
And love's a jewel while it is new
But when it is old it grows so cold
And fades away like morning dew
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row my love and I
It grows and blossoms like a rose
It has a sweet and pleasant smell
No flower on Earth can it excel
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
And love's a jewel while it is new
But when it is old it grows so cold
And fades away like morning dew

This is one of my favorites of Charlotte Church, if not my #1 fav. This song is indescribable.
I love this song, but I have heard it done so much better by other artists. She is very out of tune on some of the notes, and I dont like the arrangment anyway. Good song, but I have to say not my favorite on the CD
