The water is wide sung by Jens Lysdal

The water is wide sung by Jens Lysdal

The water is wide I can‘t cross over

and neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I

There is a ship and she sails to sea

She‘s loaded deep as deep can be

But not as deep as the love I‘m in

I know not how I sink or swim

Oh, love is gentle and love is kind

The sweetest flower when first it‘s new

But love grows old and waxes cold and fades away like morning dew
