Sail Across the Water
by Jane Siberry
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 'cross the water and lay your wisdom down?
and love will you sail 'cross the water and tell us what you found?
and love will you sail 'cross the water and hold us when we drown?
and love will you sail 'cross 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 thhe lap of loneliness, come on love
will you sail 'cross the water and lay your wisdom down?
and love will you sail 'cross the water and tell us what you found?
and love will you sail 'cross the water and hold us when we drown?
and love will you sail 'cross 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?
sail 'cross the water and lay your wisdom down?
and love will you sail 'cross the water and tell us what you found?
and love will you sail 'cross the water and hold us when we drown?
and love will you sail 'cross 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?

Minimal evidence of photoshop work here, but I suppose it's whatever you can get away with...
Nice image, maybe you should try and change the eyes back the way they are in the source, as well as the eyebrows. I had to look in hi-res to see you put the face in the statue. The nose looks a little flat, maybe some work there? Nice work author and GL!
very nice piece author...love the mood and the message...gl
Doesn't really look like her at all.
@MossyB, wasn't suppose too, but then again you should check the cover of When I was a Boy (it's really more about the song, it still gives me goosebumps)
Howdie stranger!
