A Tribute to Moe Keale: Song Lyrics 

The Water is Wide

 

The water is wide, I can't cross over
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 as deep as the love I'm in
I know that I, I sink or swim.

The love is gentle, and the love is kind.
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and it waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I
