The water is wide, I can't cross over And neither have, I wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And love shall grow, my love and I. A love is gentle and love is kind The sweetest flower when it first it's new But love grows olds and waxes cold And fades away like morning dew. Mmm oooohhh 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 over And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat, that can carry two, And love shall grow, my love and I, And love shall grow, my love and I.
