This song is sung by Karla Bonoff,,,James Taylor sings a small

part.



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





Oh 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

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 not how

I sink or swim





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
