天水长
天池水盎，空怅惘，无翅怎飞翔。
谁为我造舟，与爱相伴，双桨悠悠荡。
爱是那样潇洒漂亮，仿佛鲜花绽放。
然而当爱成往事蜡炬成灰，宛若夏日露珠泪淌。
爱之舟扬帆启航，情深意长。爱之深，沉浮荡漾，唯我心度量。
谁为我造舟，与爱相伴，双桨悠悠荡。

《The Water Is Wide》
The water is wide, I cannot get over
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 and 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 if I sink or swim
I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
So did my love prove false to me
I reached my finger into some soft bushThinking the fairest flower to find
I pricked my finger to the bone
And left the fairest flower behind
Oh, love be handsome and love be kind
Gay as a jewel when first it is new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
Must I go bound while you go free
Must I love a man who doesn't love me
Must I be born with so little art
As to love a man who'll break my heart
When cockle shells turn silver bells
Then will my love come back to me
When roses bloom in winter's gloom
Then will my love return to me
