Hand Me Downs (Album Version)

Hand Me Downs - Indigo Girls

I've taken so many down I've helped them all to dismount

I've followed so many down I take their hand me downs

All with hope all with hope that

Emptiness brings fullness and

Loss of love brings wholeness to us all

Everything that I believe crawls from underneath the streets

Everything I truly love comes from somewhere high above

Everything that I believe is wrong with you is wrong with me

Everything I truly love I love in you and I love in me

So give me hope give me hope that

Emptiness brings fullness and

Loss of love brings wholeness to us all

Swear you can't swim the river

I saw you running to jump in

I swore I would never be your sinner

Until I held your sin

Now you ask me why I'm here

The same as you I'm scared - it's fear

I've become the beggar now you've become the saint somehow

Twist the words and place the blame Tell me now aren't we the same

Tripping in our yellow feet checking underneath our sheets

For some hope give me hope that

Emptiness brings fullness and

Loss of love brings wholeness to us all
