The Water is wide

The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
And neither I have wings to fly
There'll be a boat that can carry two
And we 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 a ship, 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 cannot get o'er
And neither I have wings to fly
There'll be a boat that can carry two
And we shall row, my love and I
