Текст песни THE WATER IS WIDE A SHIP

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 don´t know not if I sink or swim

The water is wide, I cannot get o´er

Neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row, my love and I

I leaned my back against an oak

Thinking it was a trusty tree

But first it bent and then it broke

So did my love prove false to me

Must I go bound while you go free

Must I love a girl who doesn´t love me

Must I be born with so little art

To love a girl who broke my heart

Oh love be handsome and love be great

Sweet as a jewel when first it is new

But love grows old and waxes cold

And fades away like the morning dew
