[Verse 1] So keep the things we can't breathe without And I'll seek a woman like you And we'll reach for hands with which I can earn And we will keep these Hands I can hold what I can hold [Pre-Chorus] So she said to me Give me words that I can fold And then I'll keep them in my pocket above my shirt And above my heart and above my home These hands I can hold I can hold [Chorus] Turmeric in teas and wisdom of our own There is plastic in our seas And there is plastic in our homes, in our homes These hands I can hold I can hold Hands I can hold, I can hold These hands I can hold what I can hold [Verse 2] And so we will share some tea on the porch And then we'll spend time In the sea in before and after dark And all this stone and wood All this stone and wood will stay here, stay clear And you know that we'll get old Hands I can hold, I can hold Hands I can hold, I can hold These hands I can hold, I can hold [Verse 3] See I can't promise you much But time by the sea And I can't promise you things But I can promise you these [Outro] Hands I can hold I can hold Hands I can hold, I can hold These hands I can hold, I can hold These hands I can hold, I can hold These hands I can hold, I can hold These hands I can hold, I can hold These hands I can hold, I can hold These hands I can hold, I can hold
