PJ HARVEY LYRICS - Water

"Water"



water

walking on

water

for years

taking it into my head

living by the right lines

reading what the very man said



water

walking on

water

neighing on eleven years

taking it into my head

mary mary drop me softly

i've been reading what your very man said

neighing on eleven years

taking it into my head

leave my clothes on the beach

i'm walking down into the sea

prove it to me

now the water to my ankles

now the water to my knees

think of him all waxy wings

melted down into the sea

mary mary what your man said

is washing in all over my head

mary mary hold on tightly

over water under the sea
