The Water is Wide Lyrics

Cover art for The Water is Wide lyrics by Eva Cassidy

Umm, have you got the lyrics correct? Isn't it:

But love grows old then waxes Cold & But not do deep as my love for Him ???

Beautiful and heartfelt nevertheless...It's the simplicity that gets to me - a voice and a guitar. Eva could let the emotion & power in her voice loose if she wanted (listen to the final chorus) but she chose restraint and spareness instead. Just perfect...
