Lyrics: Marc Cohn. Marc Cohn. Walk On Water.

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
