The Water Is Wide Lyrics & Tabs by James Taylor

The Water Is Wide

guitar chords lyrics

James Taylor

The water is wide
I can't cross o'er
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
O 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

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
