The Water Is Wide (A Ship) Testo

A ship there is and she sails the sea She´s loaded deep asd eep can be But not so deep as the love I´m in I don´t know not if I sink or swim The water is wide, I cannot get o´er Neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, my love and I I leaned my back against an oak Thinking it was a trusty tree But first it bent and then it broke So did my love prove false to me Must I go bound while you go free Must I love a girl who doesn´t love me Must I be born with so little art To love a girl who broke my heart Oh love be handsome and love be great Sweet as a jewel when first it is new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like the morning dew
