The water is wide, I cannot get over And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that’ll carry two And both shall row, my love and I
Where love is planted oh there it grows It grows and blossoms like a rose
It has a sweet and pleasant smell No flower on earth can it excel The ship there is and she sails the sea She is loaded deep as deep can be But not so deep as the love I’m in I know not if I sink or swim
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
