PJ Harvey - The Water is Wide

[@manishmeena1234]

LYRICS
The water is wide ,
I cannot cross over ..
and neither have I
the wings to fly
O’ Build me a boat
that can carry two
and we both shall row
my Love and I
There is a ship
and she sails the seas
she's laden deep
as deep can be
but not so deep
as the love I'm in
I know not if
I sink or swim
Oh love is handsome and love IS fine
bright as a jewel when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
The water is wide ,
I cannot cross over ..
and neither have I
the wings to fly
O’ Build me a boat
that can carry two
and we both shall row
my Love and I
The water is wide ,
I cannot cross over ..
and neither have I
the wings to fly
O’ Build me a boat
that can carry two
and we both shall row
my Love and I
There is a ship
and she sails the seas
she's laden deep
as deep can be
but not so deep
as the love I'm in
I know not if
I sink or swim
Oh love is handsome and love is fine
bright as a jewel when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew

This is why I love PJ Harvey, just when you think you’ve heard everything she’s done. Something else appears, her catalogue is huge.

“Oh love is handsome and love is fine. Bright as a jewel when first it’s new. But love grows old and waxes cold and fades away like the morning dew.” That’ll haunt me forever.

I played a game called Endless Ocean that had a rendition of this song by Hayley Westenra. Watching Peaky Blinders 02x03 I recognized a couple of lyrics from that old game and now I’m here.

The water is wide ,
I cannot cross ore ..
and neither have I
the wings to fly
O’ Build me a boat
that can carry two
and we both shall row
my Love and I
There is a ship
and she sails the seas
she's laden deep
as deep can be
but not so deep
as the love I'm in
I know not if
I sink or swim

The song was orginally Waly, Waly, but in the 19th century came to be known as The Water is Wide. The song was published in 1724. O Waly, Waly is sometimes reported to be part of a longer ballad, Lord Jamie Douglas. However, Douglas was first published by Herd (1776) where it states it is to be sung to the tune of Waly, Waly, so it is fairly certain that Waly, Waly is the earlier tune.
