PJ Harvey - Send His Love To Me

Lover had to leave me
to cross the desert plains.
He turned to me, his lady,
tells me, Lover, wait.

I’m calling Jesus, please,
send his love to me.

Wind and rain haunt me.
I look to the north and pray.
Send me please, his kisses.
Send him home today.

I’m begging Jesus, please,
send his love to me.

Left alone in the desert
this house becomes a hell,
this love becomes a tether,
this room becomes a cell.

Mummy, Daddy, please,
send him back to me.

How long must I suffer?
Dear god, I’ve served my time.
This love becomes my torture,
this love my only crime.
Oh lover, please release me,
my arms too weak to grip,
my eyes too dry for weeping,
my lips too dry to kiss.

PJ Harvey - The Dancer

He came riding fast, like a phoenix out of fire-flames.
He came dressed in black, with a cross bearing my name.
He came bathed in light and splendour and glory.
I can’t believe what the Lord has finally sent me.

He said, Dance for me, fanciulla gentile.
He said, Laugh a-while, I can make your heart feel.
He said, Fly with me, touch the face of the true god,
and made me cry with joy at the depth of my love,

because I’ve prayed days, I’ve prayed nights
for the lord just to send me home some sign –
I’ve looked long, I’ve looked far,
to bring peace to my black and empty heart.

And my love will stay until the riverbed runs dry,
and my love lasts as long as the sun shines in blue sky,
and I love him longer as each damn day goes,
but the man is gone, and heaven only knows,

I’ve cried days, I’ve cried nights
for the lord just to send me home some sign.
Is he near? Is he far? –
bring peace to my black and empty heart.
So long day, so long night,
oh lord, be near me tonight.
Is he near? Is he far? –
bring peace to my black and empty heart.

PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love

I was born in the desert
I been down for years
Jesus, come closer
I think my time is near

And I've traveled over
Dry earth and floods
Hell and high water
To bring you my love

Climbed over mountains
Travelled the sea
Cast down off heaven
Cast down on my knees
I've laid with the devil
Cursed god above
Forsaken heaven
To bring you my love

To bring you my love
To bring you my love
To bring you my love

I know he's gonna be here
He know he's gonna be here
Yeah alright

Forsaken heaven
Cursed god above
Lay with the devil
Bring you my love

To bring you my love
To bring you my love
To bring you my love

PJ Harvey - Down By The Water

I lost my heart
Under the bridge
To that little girl
So much to me
And now I moan
And now I holler
She'll never know
Just what I found

That blue eyed girl
She said ‘No more’
And that blue eyed girl
Became blue-eyed whore
Down by the water
I took her hand
My lovely daughter
I won’t see her again

Oh help me Jesus
Get through the storm
I had to lose her
To do her harm
I heard her holler
I heard her moan
My lovely daughter
I took her home

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water.
Come back here, man, gimme my daughter.
