The water is wide,I can't cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
give me a boat that can carry two
And we shall row my love and I
Oh love is gentle, love is kind
the sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like　morning dew
There is a ship and it sails on the sea
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　morning dew
The water is wide and I can't cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
give me a boat that can carry two
And we shall row my love and I
