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
