The water is wide

 

 

 

 The water is wide

The water is wide I can't cross over /  And neither have the 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 love grows old and waxes cold /  and fades away like morning dew /  
There is a ship and she sails to 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 /
