The water is wide I can't cross over
|
And neither have I got wings to fly
|
Give me a boat that can carry two
|
And both shall row my love and I
|
|
Oh love is gentle and love is kind
|
The sweetest flower when first it's new
|
But the only love never waxing cold
|
Is the love He offers to me and you
|
|
Give me a boat that can carry two
|
And both shall row my love and I
|
|
There's a ship and she sails the sea
|
She's loaded deep as deep can be
|
And even deeper than the love I'm in
|
If I step on board then our love begins
|
Got to step on board let our love begin
|
(Water is wide and I've got to cross over)
