[00:00.16]The Water Is Wide - Niamh Parsons
[00:17.34]The water is wide I can't swim
[00:26.38]And neither have I wings to fly
[00:35.38]Give me a boat that can carry two
[00:44.51]And both shall row my love and I
[00:54.33]There is a ship and she sails the sea
[01:02.66]She's sailed so deep as deep can be
[01:11.56]But not so deep as the love I'm in
[01:20.28]I know not how to sink or swim
[01:29.98]And he my love
[01:33.73]And that's to know
[01:38.28]Thinking it was the strongest steam
[01:47.04]But first it bent and then it broke
[01:55.49]And that's the way love treating me
[02:05.13]For love is handsome and love is blind
[02:13.34]And love as a jewel when first it's new
[02:22.13]But love grows old and waxes cold
[02:30.31]And fades away like the morning dew
[03:14.72]Inside see to as far and go
[03:23.61]And muscle grow and every dream
[03:32.32]When cockle shells make Chrismas bells
[03:40.98]Then what I will my love for me
[03:50.34]The water is wide I can't swim over
[03:58.80]And neither have I wings to fly
[04:07.59]Built me a boat that can carry two
[04:16.04]And both shall row my love and I
[04:25.18]And both shall row my love and I
