Jane Siberry Sail Across The Water Lyrics

Sail Across The Water Lyrics

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...
