[00:40.05] The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
[00:48.26] Neither have I wings to fly
[00:55.74] Give me a boat that can carry two
[01:04.04] And both shall row, my love and I
[01:16.27] Where love is planted O there it grows
[01:24.08] It grows and blossoms like a rose
[01:31.88] It has a sweet and pleasant smell
[01:39.61] No flower on Earth can it excel
[01:47.66] A ship there is and she sails the sea
[01:55.09] She's loaded deep as deep can be
[02:02.46] But not so deep as the love I'm in
[02:09.88] I know not if I sink or swim
[02:43.26] Oh love is gentle and love is kind
[02:51.19] The sweetest flower when first it is new
[02:59.05] But love grows old and waxes cold
[03:06.97] And fades away like the morning dew
