Children's Songs. The Water is Wide

The water is wide;
I can't cross o'er,
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 is,
She sails the sea,
She's loaded deep,
As deep can be.
But not so deep
As the love I'm in;
I know not how
I sink or swim.

I leaned my back
Against an oak,
Knowing it was
A trusty tree.
At first it bent,
But never broke;
Thus did my love
Prove true to me.

Oh, love is handsome,
Love is fine,
Gay as a jewel
When first it's new;
And love grows old,
And ever bold,
And shines as bright
As morning dew.

    You Swedes have really turned into a spineless bunch by allowing these Islamic vermin to take over your country. You are going to get what you deserve.In 50 short years the Somali refugees will be in control and Sweden won't be fit for Swedish life. Have a good time, Sweden.

    Most of the time I feel lonely too. I've been ruining my whole life, but it feels like I don't care about what's gonna happen until I've done it and then there's no way back. This song gives me inspiation to get back on my feet.
