The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
|
And neither have I wings to fly
|
Build me a boat that can carry two
|
And two shall row, my love and I
|
|
There is a ship that sails the sea
|
It's laden deep as deep can be
|
But not as deep as the love I'm in
|
I know not if I sink or swim
|
|
And when we've come to life's sweet end
|
Two hearts which naught but death could part
|
Will we be wed in a life to come
|
Or must we lie, the water wide
|
Or must we lie fore'er apart?
|
|
The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
|
And neither have I wings to fly
|
Build me a boat that can carry two
|
And both shall row
|
Two hearts shall flow
|
My love and I
|
