The water is wide I can't cross o'er And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And we shall sail my love and I When 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 Shes 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 o'er And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And we shall sail my love and I
