There is a ship and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
But not as deep as the love i'm in
I know not if i sink or swim
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 the mornin' dew

The water is wide, i cannot get o'er
Neither have i the 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's loaded deep, as deep can be
But not as deep as the love i'm in
I know not if i sink or swim
I know not if i sink or swim
