THE WATER IS WIDE

JOAN BAEZ

Key:

The water is deep, I can't swi m o'er

And neither have I wings t o fly

Build me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row, my love an d I

There is a ship that sails the sea

She sails so deep as deep can be

But not so deep as the love I'm in

I know not how I'll sink or swim

I leant my back against an oak

Thinking it was the strongest tree

But first it bent and then it broke

And that's the way love treated me

Oh love is handsome oh love is kind

Gay as a jewel when first it's new

But as love grows old then twice as cold

Then fades away like morning dew.

Michel V, version 1.0
