[00:27.42] The water is wide and I can't cross over
[00:39.66] You'll be my wings that I could fly
[00:49.99] Build me a boat that can carry two
[01:01.19] And both shall row my love and I
[01:19.56] There is a ship and it sails on the sea
[01:31.37] Loaded deep as deep can be
[01:41.58] But not as deep as the love I'm in
[01:52.35] I know not if I sink or swim
[02:04.23] I leaned my back up against an oak
[02:16.63] Thinkin' it was a trusty tree
[02:26.57] But first it bent and then it broke
[02:37.16] Just like my own false love to me
[03:31.63] Oh love is gentle, love is kind
[03:43.04] Gay as a jewel when first it's new
[03:52.89] But love grows old and waxes cold
[04:03.09] And fades away like some morning dew
[04:12.84] The water is wide and I can't cross over
[04:23.83] Neither have I wings to fly
[04:33.36] Build me a boat that can carry two
[04:43.53] And both shall row my love and I
