The Water Is Wide
Navigating Love's Depths: The Water Is Wide by The Jenkins Sisters
Lyrics
The water is wide
The expanse of water is broad or vast.
I can't cross over
I am unable to cross to the other side.
And neither have
I don't possess the ability to
I wings to fly
I don't have the capability to fly.
Build me a boat
Construct a boat for me.
That can carry two
A boat capable of carrying two individuals.
And both shall row
Both individuals will contribute to rowing.
My love and I
I and my beloved will row together.
There is a ship
There exists a ship.
And she sails the sea
This ship navigates the ocean.
She's loaded deep
The ship carries a significant cargo.
As deep can be
The ship's cargo is as profound as possible.
But not so deep
However, the ship's cargo is not as profound as the love I am experiencing.
As the love I'm in
The depth of my love surpasses the ship's cargo.
I know not if
I'm uncertain about the outcome of my situation.
I sink or swim
I don't know if I'll fail or succeed.
The water is wide
The expanse of water remains wide.
I can't cross over
I'm still unable to traverse to the other side.
And neither have
I still lack the ability to
I wings to fly
I still don't possess the capability to fly.
Build me a boat
Create a boat for me, capable of carrying two.
That can carry two
Both individuals on the boat will contribute to rowing.
And both shall row
I and my beloved will row together.
My love and I
-And both shall row
-My love and I
