Walk on Water |
Let’s go down to the sound tonight |
Tide is low and we can walk on water |
Reel me in under that starry light |
Just like the fisherman’s daughter |
Baby when the bands and the barkers go home |
They say that Venus she rises |
From out of the foam |
She dances on air and laughs at the moon |
And watches young lovers in fiery dunes |
So are you willing to wait for the miracle |
Willing to wait it through |
Are you willing to wait for the miracle |
Or don’t you believe they’re true? |
There’s an old man sitting by the side of the pier |
He’s got his cross and his camera |
And his bottle of beer |
He just sits all day and all through the night |
Praying for a vision or a heavenly light |
'Cause he’s willing to wait for the miracle |
Willing to wait it through |
He’s willing to wait for the miracle |
What else is he gonna do? |
What else is he gonna do? |
Now me I don’t need no heavenly sign |
'Cause I got the water and the wine |
So baby please let your lovelight shine |
'Cause we’re all gonna meet our maker |
Sometime |
That’s why I’m willing to wait for the miracles |
I’m willing to wait them through |
I’m willing to wait for the miracles |
But I just can’t wait -- for you |
Just can’t wait for you |
Let’s go down to the sound tonight |
And walk on water |
Walk on water |
Walk on water |
