Jane Siberry - 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 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 the 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 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? Oh

Sail across the water and lay your wisdom down
And love will sail across the water and tell us what you found
And love will sail across the water and hold us when we drown
And love will 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? Oh

Love is trembling
Love is trembling, yeah yeah yeah
Love is trembling
