No Hands
Lyrics
Sliding away
Playgrounds and climbing in trees
Take to the sky in a swing
Or jump in some leaves
But the rain falls down
It's casting a gloom
Let it all end real soon
Away, chase all these clouds away

And mommy, come see me
No hands, no hands
Mommy, come watch me
You're busy
You're tired
You're walking away
But where have you gone?
I'll keep a light on

Decades have passed
Now that I'm a mother I've found
While pushing my child in a swing
On the playground
When she calls me "mom"
I see myself, lonely, dragging around
Away, chase all these feelings away

And mommy, come see me
No hands, no hands
Mommy, come watch me
You're busy
You're tired
You're looking away
But where did you go?
I'll keep the lights on, you know

'Cause walking away
Is playing it safe
And I've sure done my part
To try not
To pull at the strings of your heart

So Mommy, come see me
No hands, no hands
Mother forgive me
I'm sorry for all of the years slipped away
'Cause you did your best, I know
I'll keep a light on
I'll keep a light on
I'll keep it waiting for us to come home
