The Water Is Wide (Duet with Kurt Nilsen)

guitar chords lyrics

Elin Gaustad

The water is wide, I can't cross over
Neither have I, the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two and both shall row

My love and I
Now 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 mornin' dew
There is a ship she sails the 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
The water is wide I can't cross over

But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim
The water is wide I can't cross over
Neither have I the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
And both shall row my love and I
