[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
'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)
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
That's why I'm willing to wait for the miracles
Willing to wait 'em through
I'm willing to wait for the miracles
But I just can't wait—for you
[Outro]
Just can't wait for you
Let's go down to the sound tonight
And walk on water
Walk on water
Walk on water
Walk on water
Walk on water
