lyrics

Sandpaperhands

Deeper, deep into the soil I work my hands all day
Densest grass, through winding roots and damp and heavy clay
My fingers cut, skin roughened up, and all the structures fade
I breathe the forest, rolling greens are running through my veins

Deeper, deep into the sea you work your feet all day
Coldest water, forceful winds against the rocky bay
Your toes are cut, your soles are numb, and all the structures fade
You breathe the ocean, rolling blues in the rhythm of the waves

And when the night comes we’ll return to our house by the shore
Sandpaperhands, sandpaperfeet will meet and feel once more
I will cover you like autumn leaves and keep you warm
You will hold me close as if you keep me from the storm

And every night we will return to our house by the shore
Sweetest soil and salty sea will meet and feel once more
Fingertips and lips run through the scratches and the scars
As we lie sheltered by the darkness and the stars.
