Marc Cohn - Walk on Water lyrics

rate me

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
