Marc Cohn Walk On Water Lyrics

Walk On Water Lyrics

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
