indigo girls - water is wide lyrics
the water is wide” is a traditional folk song. the girls have been
performing it now and then for years and years. i’ve been lucky
enough to see mary-chapin carpenter add a beautiful third part to the
harmony on a few occasions.
the water is wide.
the water is wide, i can’t cross o’er
and neither i have wings to fly
give me a boat that can carry two
and both shall row – my love and i
now love is gentle, and love is kind
the sweetest flower when first it’s new
but love grows old, and waxes cold
and fades away like morning dew
there is a ship, she sails the sea
she’s loaded deep as deep can be
but not as deep as the love i’m in
i know not how i sink or swim
the water is wide, i can’t cross o’er
and neither i have wings to fly
give me a boat that can carry two
and both shall row – my love and i
and both shall row – my love and i
