The Water Is Wide Songtext

The water is wide, I can't cross o'erAnd neither have I wings to flyBuild me a boat that can carry twoAnd two shall row, my love and IThere is a ship that sails the seaIt's laden deep as deep can beBut not as deep as the love I'm inI know not if I sink or swimAnd when we've come to life's sweet endTwo hearts which naught but death could partWill we be wed in a life to comeOr must we lie, the water wideOr must we lie fore'er apart?The water is wide, I can't cross o'erAnd neither have I wings to flyBuild me a boat that can carry twoAnd both shall rowTwo hearts shall flowMy love and I
