|
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 |
