Píseň: The Water Is Wide

Interpret:
James Taylor
Album:
New Moon Shine
The water is wide 
I can't cross over 
And neither have 
I wings to fly 
Build me a boat 
That can carry two 
And both shall row 
My love and I 


There is a ship 
And she sails the sea 
She's loaded deep 
As deep can be 
But not so deep 
As the love I'm in 
I know not how 
I sink or swim 


Oh love is handsome 
And love is fine 
The sweetest flower 
When first it's new 
But love grows old 
And waxes cold 
And fades away 
Like summer dew 


Build me a boat 
That can carry two 
And both shall row 
My love and I 
And both shall row 
My love and I
