THE WATER IS WIDE - Lyrics
[Trad arrangement]

The water is wide I can't swim o'er
Nor have I light wings to fly
Build me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row my love and I

A ship there is and sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
And I don't know if I'll sink or swim

When love is young and love is fine
It's like a gem when first it's new
But love grows old and it waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew

The water is wide I can't swim o'er
Nor do I have light wings to fly
Build me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row my love and I

Oh my God, if only you knew... If only you knew how many times I have listened this version again and again without stopping on my mp3, before sleeping... I have searched a video for so long on youtube without finding it and now I have! Thank you so much for posting it.

I love Ireland and I'll visit it in August (I'm French) I can't wait! I listen to some irish music. I try to find some traditional & famous songs like The water wide, Tell me ma, The south wind... If you have ideas, tell me!
