Estelle Bajou - And I'll Say

And I’ll say gimme your hand
And you’ll say yea
And we’ll hold hands as the sky
Curves around the planet
And turns into a sunset
Which we’ve seen a thousand times

And you’ll say are you warm enough
And I’ll say yea
And you’ll say look how the snow on the field
Looks like a lake
And the tree looks like a hand

And I’ll say I’ve loved you
For ninety years
Like the hand reaching out of the earth
In that snowy field

And you’ll say what about the branches
That fell down after the storm
And I’ll say what about them
And you’ll say were they like fingers
And I’ll say I guess

And you’ll say but I still feel it reaching
Even with those fingers that fell off
And I’ll say five severed fingers
Do not make a hand
Do not make a hand

And you’ll say remember when we still weren’t sure
That we were family
And I’ll say yea
And you’ll say wasn’t that funny
And I’ll say yea it was kind of unreal

And you’ll say ready to go home
And I’ll say yea
And you’ll take my five fingers
Between your five fingers
And we’ll tromp through the snow

To the cabin that we built
With all four of our hands
Way back when we first knew
That we were family

And I’ll open the door
And we’ll wipe our feet
And we’ll touch lips on the threshold
And head inside
