A Hand To Hold Lyrics - The Golden West - Laurie Lewis & The Right Hands

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
