The video was filmed at Loch Leven Castle, Perthshire. This castle, situated on an island in the middle of Loch Leven, was a prison to Mary, Queen of Scots for a year in 1567-68. A month after arriving at the castle, she suffered a miscarriage of twins. On 24 July 1567, she was forced to abdicate in favour of her infant son, James VI, later James I of England. On 2 May 1568, with the help of boatman Willie Douglas, she did indeed find a boat that could carry two and made her escape. But within a fortnight she found herself in exile in England. She was executed for treason on 8 February 1587, having never returned to Scotland.\r

The Water Is Wide (O Waly, Waly) Lyrics\r
\r
The water is wide, I cant get oer\r
And neither have I wings to fly\r
Give me a boat that can carry two\r
And both shall row, my love and I \r
\r
Where love is planted, O, there it grows\r
It buds and blossoms, like a rose\r
It has a sweet and pleasant smell\r
No flower on earth, can it excel.\r
\r
There is a ship sailing on the sea\r
Its loaded deep, as deep can be\r
But not as deep, as the love Im in\r
I know not if I sink or swim.\r
\r
Oh love is gentle and love is kind\r
The sweetest flower when first its new\r
But love grows old and waxes cold\r
And fades away like morning dew\r
\r
The water is wide, I cant get oer\r
And neither have I wings to fly\r
Give me a boat that can carry two\r
And both shall row, my love and I \r
And both shall row, my love and I\r
