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'erAnd neither I have wings to flyGive me a boat that can carry twoAnd both shall row - my love and INow love is gentle, and love is kindThe sweetest flower when first it's newBut love grows old, and waxes coldAnd fades away like morning dewThere is a ship, she sails the seaShe's loaded deep as deep can beBut not as deep as the love I'm inI know not how I sink or swimThe water is wide, I can't cross o'erAnd neither I have wings to flyGive me a boat that can carry twoAnd both shall row - my love and IAnd both shall row - my love and I
