Robin Holcomb - Hand Me Down All Stories lyrics

rate me

Hand me down all stories

Sweet bitter truths to live by

May their pleasures be repeated

Throughout our little lives

Hand me down my walking cane

It hangs there on that nail above

Go driving with the devil

And he'll cut you with the chains of love

O, hand me down all stories

Sweet bitter truths to live by

May their pleasures be repeated

Throughout our little lives

Lie down with the lilies waving in the field

And listen for the faintest cry

Love may wish to make a home

And peace may visit by and by

O, there was a time, the story goes

When all creation shone the same

If divide, divide is your desire

You'll darken every promise made

Weave stories from the headline

Into your lullabies tonight

Storm of ages, heads hung low

Chariots are running on the rocky road

It takes a fool to foul the water wheel

And another fool to bring him down

They'll be dancing, dancing in the streets

If memory ever finds this town

O, hand me down all stories

Sweet bitter truths to live by

May their pleasures be repeated

Throughout our little lives

May their pleasures be repeated

Throughout our little lives

May their pleasures be repeated

Throughout our little lives

May their pleasures be repeated

Throughout our little lives

May their pleasures be repeated

Throughout our little lives

May their pleasures be repeated

Throughout our little lives
