Indigo Girls - Hand Me Downs lyrics

I've taken so many down I've helped them all to dismount I've followed so many down I take their hand me downs All with hope All with hope That emptiness brings fullness And loss of love brings wholeness All with hope All with hope That emptiness brings fullness And loss of love brings wholeness To us all Everything that i believe Crawls from underneath the streets Everything i truly love Comes from somewhere far above Everything that i believe Is wrong with you is wrong with me Everything i truly love I love in you and i love in me So give me hope Give me hope That emptiness brings fullness And loss of love brings wholeness To us all You swear you can't swim the river (i've become the beggar now) (you've become the saint somehow) But i saw you running to jump in (i've become the beggar now) (you've become the saint somehow) I swore i'd never be your sinner (i've become the beggar now) (you've become the saint somehow) Til i held your sin Hand me downs Now you ask me why i'm here The same as you I'm scared - it's fear I've become the beggar now And you've become the saint somehow Twist the words and place the blame And tell me now aren't we the same Tripping in our yellow feet Checking underneath our sheets For some hope Give me hope That emptiness brings fullness And loss of love brings wholeness Give me hope Give me hope That emptiness brings fullness And loss of love brings wholeness To us all
