I tried my best to get over you Kept my distance so I wouldn't have to show That the things which I kept hidden by my casual smile Were the things that I needed you to know You could have seen the acting on the stage You might have read the writing on the page You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two But you never knew it was I was falling for you Sometimes I still think I could get to you Then I laugh and think I could swim the seven seas It seems when I'm set to fly there's a storm up in the sky When I'm set to sail there isn't any breeze You could have seen the acting on the stage You might have read the writing on the page You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two But you never knew it was i was falling for you It's been some time now that i saw you in a photograph Looking just the way you did so long ago I could almost see you throw your head back and start to laugh In that gentle way that used to let me know Things were okay and a hurting song is just a cliche And what's the use if they only always fade away Just like the sun just like everyone but you Indigo Girls - the water is wide The water is wide I can't cross over And neither I Have wings to fly Give me a boat That can carry two And both shall row My love and I Now 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 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 I Have wings to fly Give me a boat That can carry two And both shall row My love and I And both shall row My love and I
