The water is wide   I cannot get o'er    and neither have I wings to fly      Give me a boat that will 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      O love is handsome   and love is fine   And love's a jewel while it is new   But when it is old, it grows so cold   and fades away like morning dew...
