Light Is Like Water

Strange pilgrims sail by my window
Steady hands, restless hearts, they set their course
And though many, from a distance, look familiar
I stand unnoticed by these sailors of the Lord
I have read initial stories of how to sail
But these days nothing but the cold sea is sinking in
Strange pilgrims seeking shelter
I do not know them, but I’m sure, it’s just as well
Though I would gladly share my juice, my coffee, rigs,
girlfriend, conversation
I keep my distance and my opinions to myself
I have read initial stories of how to sail
But these days nothing but the cold sea is sinking in
They say drowning in the desert, in the ocean
Is for fools and for prophets who cannot swim
Baby love, love is like water
Only water is just like light
A little faith and a paddle
Will surely get you, and all God’s children,
Through the night
Strange pilgrims stand by my bedside
Liquid whispers hold me gently while I cry
And in our hands, my new companions, will cross over
With a fearless heart, head to my new home, in the sky
I have read a short story of how to sail
But these days nothing but the cold sea is sinking in
They say drowning in the desert, in the ocean
Is for fools and false prophets who cannot swim
Love, love is like water
Only water is just like light
A little faith and a paddle
Will surely get you, and your baby
Through the night
Love, love is like water
Only water is just like light
A little faith and a paddle
Will surely get you, and your baby
Through the night
Whatever gets you through the night
Through the night
Through the night
Whatever gets you through the night
Through the night
Through the night
Whatever gets you through the night
Through the night
Through the night
Gets you through the night
Through the night
Through the night
