O Waly, Waly Lyrics - Sarah Brightman

The water is wide, I cannot get o'er, 

And neither have I wings to fly. 

Give me a boat that will carry two, 

And both shall row, my love and I. 

O, down in the meadows the other day, 

A-gath'ring flowers both fine and gay, 

A-gath'ring flowers both red and blue, 

I little thought what love can do. 

I leaned my back up against some oak 

Thinking that he was a trusty tree; 

But first he bended, and then he broke, 

And so did my false love to me.

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.

O, love is handsome and love is fine, 

And love's a jewel while it is new, 

But when it is old, it groweth cold, 

And fades away like morning dew.
