Paddy Schmidt - The Water Is Wide A Ship lyrics
Your rating:
She?s loaded deep as deep 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
