Lyrics

[00:38.49] The water's wide and I cannot cross over
[00:53.62] Nor do I have wings to fly
[01:08.80] Build me a boat that could carry two
[01:23.83] And both shall row my love and I
[01:38.96] There is a ship and she sails the sea
[01:53.54] She's burdened deep as deep can be
[02:08.62] But not as deep as the love I'm in
[02:23.25] And I know not if I sink or swim
[02:38.63] But love is gentle and love is kind
[02:53.11] As to a jewel when first it's new
[03:08.09] But love grows old and it fades with time
[03:22.57] And it fades away like morning dew
[03:38.05] Build me a boat that could carry two
[03:52.63] And both shall row my love and I
[04:03.53] My love and I
[04:07.31] My love and I
