Artist/Band: Eva Cassidy
Lyrics for Song: Waly Waly
Lyrics for Album: Eva By Heart



When cockleshells,
turn to silvery bells,
then will my love
return to me.

When roses grow,
in the wintery snow,
then will my love
return to me.

Oh, Waly Waly,
love be bonnie,
and bright as a jewel
when it's first new.

But love grows old,
and waxes cold,
and fades away
like morning dew.

There is a ship,
it's sailing the sea,
it's loaded high
and deep can be.

But not so deep,
as my love for him,
I know not if
I sink or swim.

Oh, Waly Waly,
love be bonnie,
bright as a jewel
when it's first new.

But love grows old,
and waxes cold,
and fades away
like morning dew.
