The Water Is Wide

Song	The Water Is Wide
Artist	Orla Fallon
Album	Songs From Solo Works - Celtic Woman

	Hayley Westenra
	The water is wide, I cannot get over
	And neither have I wings to fly
	Give me a boat that’ll carry two
	And both shall row, my love and I
	Where love is planted oh there it grows
	It grows and blossoms like a rose
	It has a sweet and pleasant smell
	No flower on earth can it excel
	The ship there is and she sails the sea
	She is loaded deep as deep can be
	But not so deep as the love I’m in
	I know not if I sink or swim
	Oh, love is gentle, love is kind
	The sweetest flower when first it’s new
	But love grows old and waxes cold
	And fades away like morning dew

	Where love is planted oh there it grows
	It grows and blossoms like a rose

	I know not if I sink or swim
	Oh, love is gentle, love is kind
	The sweetest flower when first it' s new
	But love grows old and waxes cold
