Sarah McLachlan Lyrics

Album: Unknown

The Water is Wide Lyrics

with The Indigo Girls and Jewel

from Lilith Fair: a Celebration of Women in Music

The water is wide, I can't cross over

and neither I have 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 morning 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

and neither I have 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
