Nadia Birkenstock - The Water Is Wide lyrics

The water is wide, I cannot get over and neither have I wings to fly. Give me a boat that will carry two and both shall row, my love and I. Oh down in the meadows the other day A gath'ring flow'rs both fine and gay A gath'ring flowers both red and blue, I little thought what love could do. I put my hand into one soft bush, thinking the sweetest flower to find. I pricked my finger to the bone and left the sweetest flower alone. There is a ship and she sails the sea, she's loaded deep as deep can be, but nor so deep as the love I am in; I know not if I sink or swim.
