The Water Is Wide

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
Oh love is gentle and love is kind
And love’s a 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 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
