Small Hands

from Stranger Hug! by Ian Taylor

/

lyrics

She's got small hands that hold my heart
and eyelids that stop and start
she's the wind from the wings of the most precious things.
And I've got friends I don't ever see
who did their best to take care of me
when things got so dark I could barely see.
So please excuse my sleepy eyes
I didn't sleep well last night, I tossed and I turned
I burn and never learn.
And you hum softly through voices like feathers
that soothes my broken heart on my coffee stained paper.
your beautiful mind of funeral fires.
So tell my mother that I love her, she's been so kind. She's been so kind.
Tell my father I forgive him for the absence that he left behind, the clarity that I'll never find.
She's got small hands that treat me kind
dark eyes full of life
she's the wind from the wings of the most precious things.
And there's no way I could pay it all back
But know that you never left my mind.
And in the hour of my last goodbye's
just know that you never left my mind.
