Hands
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.
I will hold you as you held me
You gave me shelter, you gave me safety
You said, Hold gently what you wish to grow old with
Like a sparrow in your hands that
Needs to fly
Hold gently what you wish to grow old with
Don't close those hands
Ivory fingers, porcelain haven
Hands that tamed me, that named
And framed me
You said, Hold gently what you wish to grow old with
Like a sparrow in your hands that
Needs to fly
Hold gently what you wish to grow old with
Don't close those hands
So these hands of mine that have learnt through time
To be a brother, lover, father, friend
To try and let you fly
To circle other skies
To let you go
When you need to go
Oh they'll be open
They'll be waiting
