1.
The water is wide, I cannot cross over,
And neither have I wings to fly,
Give me a boat that can carry two,
And both shall row - my love and I.

A ship there was, and she sails the sea,
She's loaded deep as deep can be,
But not so deep as the love I'm in,
And I know not how, I sink or swim.

I leaned my back up against some young oak,
Thinking he was a trusty tree,
But first he bended and then he broke,
And thus did my false love to me.

I put my hand into some soft bush,
Thinking the sweetest flower to find.
I pricked my finger to the bone,
And left the sweetest flower alone.

Oh, love is handsome, love is fine,
Gay as a jewel, when first it is new,
But love grows old, and waxes cold,
And fades away, like summer dew.

The seagulls wheel, they turn and dive,
The mountain stands beside the sea.
This world we know turns round and round,
And all for them - and you and me.

Traditional tune
Last verse by Pete Seeger

2.
Love flows like a river
Like my soul flows out to you
Though distance may divide us
We are never far apart
Let my love be like a shield
That brings you safely back to me
Let your love flow like the river
Let it flow right back to me

Love flows like a river
Even rivers sometimes part
No matter how far gone I seem
You will always have my heart
If I should never see your face again
Know that when my life is through
Like a river flowing to the sea
I will flow right into you

Never parted
My love flows into you

If I should never see your face again
Know that when my life is through
Like a river flowing to the sea
I will flow right into you
Like a river to the ocean deep
I will flow right into you
