Both Hands Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Both Hands Lyrics

    I am walking
    out in the rain
    and I am listening to the low moan
    of the dial tone again
    and I am getting
    nowhere with you
    and I can't let it go
    and I can't get through...
    the old woman behind the pink curtains
    and the closed door
    on the first floor
    she's listening through the air shaft
    to see how long our swan song can last
    and both hands
    now use both hands
    oh, no don't close your eyes
    I am writing
    graffitti on your body
    I am drawing the story of
    how hard we tried
    I am watching your chest rise and fall
    like the tides of my life,
    and the rest of it all
    and your bones have been my bedframe
    and your flesh has been my pillow
    I am waiting for sleep
    to offer up the deep
    with both hands
    in eachother's shadows we grew less and less tall
    and eventually our theories couldn't explain it all
    and I'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall
    and eventually the landlord will come
    and paint over it all
    and I am walking
    out in the rain
    and I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
    and I am getting nowhere with you
    and I can't let it go
    and I can't get though
    So now use both hands
    please use both hands
    oh, no don't close your eyes
    I am writing graffitti on your body
    I am drawing the story of how hard we tried
    hard we tried
    how hard we tried
