The water is wide and I can''''t cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I

Oh love is gentle, love is kind
Gay as a jewel when first it''''s new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like　morning dew

There is a ship and it sails on the sea
Loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I''''m in
I know not if I sink or swim

The water is wide and I can''''t cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
And both shall row my love and I
