Verse 1
the water is wide, I can't cross over
and neither I
have wings to fly
give me a boat that can carry two
And we both shall row, my love and I
Verse 2
my love is gentle, and love is kind
the sweetest flower
when first it blooms
but love grows old
and waxes cold
and fades away like morning dew
Verse 3
there is a ship that sails the sea
she's loaded deep
as deep can be
but not as deep as the love I made
I know not how to sink or swim
*play one full verse as this is The Bridge*
Verse 4
the water is wide, I can't cross over
and neither I
have wings to fly
give me a boat
that can carry two
and both shall row, my love and I
and both shall row
my love and I
