Walk On Water Lyrics - Marc Cohn - Marc Cohn

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 a 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 yeah? 

Now me I don't need no Heavenly sign 

'Cause I got the water and the wine 

But baby please let your love light shine 

'Cause we're all gonna meet our maker sometime 

That's why I'm willing to wait for the miracles 

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 on down to the sound tonight 

And walk on water, walk on water 

Walk on water, walk on water, walk on water
