The water is wide, I cannot get o'er Neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, my love and I Where love is planted O there it grows It grows and blossoms like a rose It has a sweet and pleasant smell No flower on Earth can it excel A ship there is and she 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 Oh love is gentle and love is kind The sweetest flower when first it is new But love grows old and waxes cold And fades away like the morning dew
