Sail Across The Water

Sail Across The Water (LP版) - Jane Siberry

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 thhe 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 you 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

Woh

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

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

Ohh

Ohh ohh

Love is trembling

Yeah hah

Love is trembling

Yeah yeah yeah

Love is trembling
