Laurie Lewis & The Right Hands - A Hand to Hold lyrics

The thrush in the forest, the lark in the field Sing like their lives depend on the song My mind has been full, but my voice has been still In all this time since you've been gone 'Cause you and I, we shared a rocky road You and I shouldered a heavy load Ah, but you and I, we had something gold You and I, we had a hand to hold There's an empty room behind my heart's door And I've tried to fill it by calling your name But the echoes subside and I know what's in store: Only the emptiness remains 'Cause you and I, we shared a rocky road You and I shouldered a heavy load Ah, but you and I, we had something gold You and I, we had a hand to hold I went out walking, thinking of you I was filled with self-pity that we had to part So I picked up a pebble of a pale rosy hue And I carried it next to my heart And it's strange, though I know that stone isn't you It's a talisman that I hold dear I clasp it tightly, and I don't feel so blue And somehow, it brings you near 'Cause you and I, we shared a rocky road You and I shouldered a heavy load Ah, but you and I, we had something gold You and I, we had a hand to hold
