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
