Hands To Water

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
