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 'cross the water |
| And lay your wisdom down? |
| And love will you sail 'cross the water |
| And tell us what you found? |
| And love will you sail 'cross the water |
| And hold us when we drown? |
| And love will you sail 'cross 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 'cross the water |
| And lay your wisdom down? |
| And love will you sail 'cross the water |
| And tell us what you found? |
| And love will you sail 'cross the water |
| And hold us when we drown? |
| And love will you sail 'cross 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? |
| Will you sail 'cross the water |
| And lay your wisdom down? |
| And love will you sail 'cross the water |
| And tell us what you found? |
| And love will you sail 'cross the water |
| And hold us when we drown? |
| And love will you sail 'cross 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? |
| Love is trembling… |
