The water is wilde      The water is wide I can't cross over   And neither have I got wings to fly   Give me a boat that can carry two   And both shall row my love and I      Oh love is gentle and love is kind   The sweetest flower when first it's new   But the only love never waxing cold   Is the love He offers to me and you      Give me a boat that can carry two   And both shall row my love and I      There's a ship and she sails the sea    She's loaded deep as deep can be   And even deeper than the love I'm in   If I step on board then our love begins   Got to step on board let our love begin   (Water is wide and I've got to cross over)
