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 both shall row my love and I There is a ship and she sails the sea She is loaded deep as deep can be But not so deep as the love I'm in I know not how I sink or swim Oh love is handsome and love is kind and love is flower when first it's new But love grows old and wax is cold and fades away like morning dew
