Intro: The water is wide, I can't get over Neither have I the wings to fly So go and get me to a boat To carry both my love and I Must I be bound and she go free? Am I to love while she don't love me? Why should I act the childish part and love a girl that breaks my heart Interlude: There is a ship out on the sea And loaded deep as it can be But not as deep as love am I Don't care if I should live or die The water is wide, I can't get over Neither have I the wings to fly So go and get me to a boat To carry both my love and I To cary both my love and I Outro: (fade out)
