Indigo Girls - Hand In Hand lyrics
Your rating:
1980 album "Making Movies." And, yet again, it's a song that Amy only does solo. She doesn't do it nearly as often as "Romeo," though... In fact, I've only heard her do it once (at the Atlanta Roxy, 17 Jan '91 - 2nd show, for those keeping track...) though I've been told she's done it at least one or two other times. Anyway, this is also a terrific song... Hand in Hand. The sky is crying The streets are full of tears Rain come down Wash away my fears And all this writing on the wall Oh, I can read between the lines Rain come down Forgive this dirty town Rain come down Give this dirty town A drink of water A drink of wine If I've been hard on you I never chose to be I never wanted no one else I've tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to Hand in hand Like lovers are supposed to As you'd sleep I'd think my heart will break in two I'd kiss your cheek I'd stop myself from waking you But in the dark you'd speak my name And say, "Baby, what's wrong?" Oh, here i am, baby I'm coming back for more I'm like a wave It's got to roll into the shore Yes, and if my love's in vain How come my love is so strong? If I've been hard on you I never chose to be I never wanted no one else I've tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to Hand in hand Like lovers are supposed to Supposed to be Now, you and me, we go parallel Together and apart And you keep the perfect distance And it's tearing at my heart 'Cause you never feel the distance But you never tried to cross no lines 'Cause it's another dirty river And another dirty scar And I don't know who's kissing you And I don't know where you are So far from home Won't you think of me sometime? If I've been hard on you I never chose to be I never wanted no one else I've tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to Hand in hand Like lovers are supposed to If I've been hard on you I never chose to be I never wanted no one else I've tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to Hand in hand Like lovers are supposed to Well, the sky is crying See, the streets are full of tears Rain come down Wash away my fears And all this writing on the wall Oh, I can read between the lines
