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
