The water is wide, I can't get over And nor do I have wings to fly Give me a boat that will carry two And both shall row, my love and I There is a ship that sails the sea She's loaded deep, as deep can be But not so deep, as the love I'm in I know not if I sink or swim The water is wide, I can't get over And nor do I have wings to fly Give me a boat that will carry two And both shall row, my love and I Someday I hope to love again
