Lyrics

[00:03.52] The Water Is
[00:05.41] Hayley Westenra
[00:06.27]
[00:40.38] The water is wide, I cannot get over
[00:48.35] And neither have I wings to fly
[00:54.44]
[00:56.31] Give me a boat that’ll carry two
[01:04.55] And both shall row, my love and I
[01:12.61]
[01:16.59] Where love is planted oh there it grows
[01:24.25] It grows and blossoms like a rose
[01:31.83]
[01:32.49] It has a sweet and pleasant smell
[01:41.13] No flower on earth can it excel
[01:48.13] The ship there is and she sails the sea
[01:55.48] She is loaded deep as deep can be
[02:02.88] But not so deep as the love I’m in
[02:10.24] I know not if I sink or swim
[02:15.95]
[02:43.72] Oh, love is gentle, love is kind
[02:51.49] The sweetest flower when first it’s new
[02:59.49] But love grows old and waxes cold
[03:04.68]
[03:07.27] And fades away like morning dew
