Hands I Can Hold

So keep the things we can't breathe without, & I'll seek a woman like you

& We'll reach for hands with which I can learn, & we will keep these

Hands I can hold I can hold

So she said to me, give me words that I can fold

& I'll keep them in my pocket above my shirt

& above my heart & above my home

These hands I can hold I can hold

Turmeric in teas & wisdom of our own

There is plastic in our seas

& there is plastic in our homes, in our homes

These hands I can hold I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold

So we will share some tea on the porch, & spend time

In the sea before & after dark

All this stone & wood, all this stone & wood will stay here

All this stone & wood, all this stone & wood will stay clear

& we'll get old

Hands I can hold, I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold

And I can't promise you much, but time by the sea

See I can't promise you things, but I can promise you these

Hands I can hold I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold

Hands I can hold, I can hold
