The Water Is Wide

The water is wide, I can't cross o'er

Ad neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And we shall row, my love and i

For 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

She's loaded deep as deep can be

But not as deep as the love I'm in

I know now how I sink or swim
