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 |
