The Water is Wide

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have, I wings to fly
Give me a boat, that can carry two
And both shall row
My love and I

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'll sink or swim

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have, I wings to fly
Give mе a boat, that can carry two
And both shall row
My love and I
And both shall row
My love and I
