Lyrics

[00:00.00] <The Water Is Wide>
[00:10.00] Hayley Westenra
[00:20.00]
[00:39.00] The water is wide, I cannot get over
[00:48.00] And neither have I wings to fly
[00:56.00] Give me a boat that’ll carry two
[01:04.00] And both shall row, my love and I
[01:12.00]
[01:16.00] Where love is planted oh there it grows
[01:24.00] It grows and blossoms like a rose
[01:31.00] It has a sweet and pleasant smell
[01:40.00] No flower on earth can it excel
[01:46.00]
[01:47.00] The ship there is and she sails the sea
[01:55.00] She is loaded deep as deep can be
[02:02.00] But not so deep as the love I’m in
[02:10.00] I know not if I sink or swim
[02:18.00]
[02:43.00] Oh, love is gentle, love is kind
[02:51.00] The sweetest flower when first it’s new
[02:59.00] But love grows old and waxes cold
[03:07.00] And fades away like morning dew
[03:17.00]
