Sky-filled Hands

Brand New Original Song--Inspired by Joanna Newsom and Manchester Orchestra

Lyrics:
Waves colour mosaic rearrange the shore
Sorting out shells and smooth black stones
Floating disc in the air
Skipping rocks to the moon
The thick twilight air--is cold and it's warm
And it's stirring the algae
In the green milky way
The stars are flashing a smile and a wink
I think I could fall back in love today
Love feels like falling back down on my knees

Singing God don't hurt me
This heart can barely breathe
Take, what you see
Sand spills out my hands
I'd rather hold sky
You and I, You and I

When looking for bosoms to rest my head on
I lost my heart like a good skipping stone
My hands clatter madly for something smooth to hold
Cuz I lost my sky, I lost my rope
I'm choking up softly, I won't shed a tear
But I'll be destroyed if the winds blow back here
My hair is all dancing, capricious and mad
You brush my cheek and I hold my breath

Screaming God don't hurt me
This soul can barely breathe
I'm broken inside you see
Sand spills out my hands
I'd rather hold sky

You and I, You and I
I've been trying to fill in this blank
With some plan, with this ink
Riding away on a pen and a scheme
Saying "Can't catch me, Can't catch me"
I'm so bad, I'm so dead, I'm a heresy

Look me straight in the eye
You don't buy--my foolish crime
Look me straight in the eye
I see myself and I just want to cry

Water black, moon is full
The sky is so thick you could walk right into it
Breathe me in, let me die to this
We'll kayak the quasars, we'll sit in the quiet
And breathe, breathe me out, warm and soft
Change me now
Hardly here
I can hear your whisper call out

And I sing
God don't hurt me
I'll follow you into the sea
I'm so scared, I'm no saint
Sky-filled hands, stop to pray
You and I, You and I
You're my hope
Hope for this life
