The water is wide I cant cross o'er 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 love is kind The sweetest flower when first its new But love grows cold and waxes cold And fades away like morning dew There is a ship she sails the sea Shes loaded deep as deep as can be But not as deep as the love im in I know not how I sink or swim The water is wide I cant cross o'er 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
