【 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 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 the ship and she sails the sea She's loaded deep as deep can be But not so deep as the love I'm in I know not if I sink or swim. 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 Give me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, my love and I
