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… |
