Sail Across The Water Lyrics - 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 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
