The Water Is Wide

The water is wide, I can't cross o'er And neither have I wings to fly Build me a boat that can carry two And two shall row, my love and I There is a ship that sails the sea It's laden deep as deep can be But not as deep as the love I'm in I know not if I sink or swim And when we've come to life's sweet end Two hearts which naught but death could part Will we be wed in a life to come Or must we lie, the water wide Or must we lie fore'er apart? The water is wide, I can't cross o'er And neither have I wings to fly Build me a boat that can carry two And both shall row Two hearts shall flow My love and I
