Water Is Wide

the water is wide, I can't cross o’er
and neither I have wings to fly
build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

love is handsome, love is kind
the sweetest flower when first it is new
but love grows old and waxes cold
and fades away like morning dew

the water is wide, I can't cross o’er
and neither I have wings to fly
give me a boat that can carry two
and both shall row, my love and I
and both shall row
my love and I

the water is wide, I can't cross o’er
and neither I have wings to fly
give me a boat that can carry two
and both shall row, my love and I
and both shall row
my love and I
