Hands To Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My hands turn to water in the sunlight on the coast
Push a boat from shore and glide out to the sandbar
I remember you on the island in the summer
When your mother was still alive
Looking after you and saving us all the time
Now your father's somewhere on the Atlantic
Tossed about and true
You know that if I had my way
I'd return to you
Why does it have to be lonesome now?
Why does it have to be lonesome now?
Remember that night way out past the house
You and me curled up in the woods
I fell asleep trying not to worry about your mom
Nobody knows a thing about growing up
Letting go
Until it's done and you just
You just lose your hope
Why does it have to be quiet now
Why does it have to be quiet now
You were born on the waves
You were born to be saved
You were born on the waves
You were born to be saved
One more time
Just one more time
Give me one more time
My heart turns to water in the sunlight on the coast
Push a boat from shore and glide out past the sandbar
