Traditional - The water is wide - текст песни (слова)

The water is wide, I cannot cross o'er
 But Neither have I the wings to fly.
 Build me a boat, that will carry two,
 And both shall row, my love and I.
 A ship there is, and she sails the sea,
 I know not if I sink or swim.
 She's laden deep as deep can be,
 But not so deep as the love I'm in.
 I leaned my back on a pride young oak,
 I thought it was a trusty tree.
 But first it bended, and then it broke,
 And so my love proved false to me.
 O love is fair and love is fine,
 Bright as a rose, when first it's new;
 But love grows old, and sometimes cold
 And fades away like the morning dew.
