Hand Me Downs Lyrics

Performed by Indigo Girls

Words and Music: Amy Ray

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
And everything I truly love comes from soemwhere far 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

All with hope all with hope
That emptiness brings fullness
And loss of love brings wholeness
All the hope all the hope
That emptiness brings fullness
And loss of love brings wholeness
To us all

Amy:
You swear you can't swim the river
But I saw you running to jump in
I swore I'd never be your sinner
Till I held your sin Emily:
I've become the beggar now, you've become the saint somehow
I've become the beggar now, you've become the saint somehow
I've become the beggar now, you've become the saint somehow


Hand me downs

Now you ask me why I'm here
The same as you i'm scared--it's fear
I've become the beggar now and you've become the saint somehow
Twist the words and place the blame tell me aren't we the same
Tripping in our yellow feet checking underneath our sheets

All with hope all with hope
That emptiness brings fullness
And loss of love brings wholeness
All with hope all with hope
That emptiness brings fullness
And loss of love brings wholeness
