The water is wide, I cannot cross overAnd neither have I wings to flyGive me a boat that can carry twoAnd both shall rowMy love and IA ship there isAnd she sails the seaShe's loaded deepAs deep can beBut not so deepAs the love I'm in love findingI know not ifI sink or swimWhen cockles shellTurn silver bellThen will my love come back to meWhen roses bloomAnd winters bloomThen will my love return to meThen will my love return to meReturn, return you to me
