Who else is gonna bring you
A broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain
There he goes, moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole
world around

Do you feel what I feel
Can we make that so it's part of the deal
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel
Lay your heart on the line ... this time

I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot
summer breeze
Count the beads of sweat that cover me
Didn't you show me a sign, this time

Who else is gonna bring you
A broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain
There he goes, moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole
world around

Can you see what I see
Can you cut behind the mystery
I will meet you by the witness tree
Leave the whole world behind

I want to come when you call
I'll get to you if I have to crawl
They can't hold me with these iron walls
We've got mountains to climb

Who else is gonna bring you
A broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain
There he goes, moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole
world around

@juantorrelavega68 you're welcome, and thank you.

@Taranau ok , thanks for coment

@Taranau using this concept, and my mind's eye, I see this as a song Satan would sing to and about Jesus. Jesus "moved across the water" and his mission here was to "turn people's worlds around". Satan is The Prodigal Son, in that particular story Jesus told, and it was an open invitation to Satan to come back home. I did not mean it to say that I thought Robbie was Satan. I'm pretty sure he's not. In this song, I see Satan thinking about going home. And that Jesus is the reason why...

@juantorrelavega68 a concept I came up with about 35 years ago. popular songs that could be construed as songs God, Satan and Jesus might sing to each other. take these three Rod Stewart songs for example; God sings to Satan(and the rest of us) Have I Told You Lately That I Love You. Satan sings bck to God; If I listen Long Enough To You, I'll find a way to believe that it's all true. And Jesus sings to everyone Forever Young...

@Taranau What ?

[Taranau]

who IS that guy moving across the water, turning people's lives around? oh, that's right... In the Rock And Roll Gospel Show scheme of things; this is a song Satan sings to and about Jesus...
