One of his songs...
My Hands
Accidentally, on purpose
I dropped my watch behind the tire
Threw my alarm clock inside the fireplace
Yeah, and I put the parental control on,
On the news and the weather channel
I'm outside in my robe I'm looking for you, oh
If everything'd stop
I'd listen for your heart
To lead me right to you, yeah
I tried every way I can
But it's harder to hold on to your hands than the hands of time
I need a hand, girl, I'm trying to hold on
Losing strength in these hands of mine
I need you here
I'm trying to hold on
Standing here, open hands and I
Know I can't do this alone
Hold on, oh hold on
Baby hold on (to my hands)
Hold on to my hands (don't let go of my hands)
Don't let go
I don't think this is working
Squeezing so hard my hands are hurting
Ought to let go in the first place
And I put the phone on the front lawn
Everything that shows time is gone
I'm outside in this cold
Still looking for you
If everything'd stop
I'd listen for your heart
To lead me right to you, yeah
I tried every way I can
But it's harder to hold on to your hands than the hands of time
I need a hand girl, I'm trying to hold on
Losing strength in these hands of mine, I need you here
I'm trying to hold on
Standing here open hands and I
Know I can't do this alone
Hold on, oh hold on
Baby hold on (to my hands)
Hold on to my hands (don't let go of my hands)
Don't ever let me go
If everything'd stop
I'd listen for your heart
To lead me right to you, yeah
I tried every way I can
But it's harder to hold on to your hands than the hands of time
I need a hand girl, I'm trying to hold on
Losing strength in these hands of mine, I need you here
I'm trying to hold on
Standing here open hands and I
Know I can't do this alone
Hold on, hold on
Baby hold on (to my hands)
Can you hold on to my hands (don't let go of my hands)
Don't let go
Can you hold on to my hands
