Sail Across The Water

Love is trembling, trembling like the little bird we hold within our hands

Love is bending, bending towards the worried brow here

Let me wipe away your tears

Love is kneeling above the broken body the ever-upturned face

Love is missing all the words are broken, help me I cannot find my way

No, I can't I need you love come on love

Will you sail across the water and lay your wisdom down?

And love will you sail across the water and tell us what you found?

And love will you sail across the water and hold us when we drown?

And love will you sail across the water? Is anybody listening?

Love is trembling, trembling like the leaves above the baby's bed

Love is streaming, streaming with the tears that we cannot seem to shed

Love is frozen, frozen in the figure they just pulled from the subway grate

Love is burning

Burning with the anger that we all feel against which we kneel

Our faces pressed into the lap of loneliness come on love

Will you sail across the water and lay your wisdom down?

And love will you sail across the water and tell us what you found

And love will you sail across the water and hold us when we drown

And love will sail across the water

Are we not willing? Are we not trying?

Are we not trusting? Are we not crying?

Are we not children? Are we not stumbling?

Are we not wondering? Are we not? Oh

Sail across the water and lay your wisdom down

And love will sail across the water and tell us what you found

And love will sail across the water and hold us when we drown

And love will sail across the water

Are we not willing? Are we not bending?

Are we not frozen? Are we not trembling?

Are we not children? Are we not trying?

Are we not wondering? Are we not? Oh

Love is trembling

Love is trembling, yeah yeah yeah

Love is trembling
