Ellis Island

The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
 Ad neither have I wings to fly
 Give me a boat that can carry two
 And we shall row, my love and I
 For love is gentle, and love is kind
 The sweetest flower when first it's new
 But love grows old and waxes cold
 And fades away like morning dew
 There is a ship and she sails the sea
 She's loaded deep as deep can be
 But not as deep as the love I'm in
 I know now how I sink or swim
 For love is gentle, and love is kind
 The sweetest flower when first it's new
 But love grows old and waxes cold
 And fades away like morning dew
 The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
 Ad neither have I wings to fly
 Give me a boat that can carry two
 And we shall row, my love and I
