lyrics

My 2 Hands

My two hands,
my one mouth, my arms
my heart.

Hold me tight, don’t let go;

I’m afraid I’m floating away.

I’ve got one heart, and it’s all I’ve got.

One face, and it’s mine, like it or not.

Meanwhile you’re there, just waiting.

I’m here, you’re there,

but there’s something more.

We’ve got something on our minds,

something that’s on our lips.

My two lips can form the word

that your one heart has long preferred.

“Love” is the word you hoped you heard,

but that would be absurd.

I’ve read the forecast

and I could tell you all about the rain,

but I’m sure that you’d prefer to know the temperature
of our four lips

and twenty fingertips.

My two hands,

my legs, and between my thighs.

My two arms,

my one mouth, my heart, and my eyes

are my only answers.

They are my only weapons.

They let me say “I love you.”

about

David Garland New York, New York

Composer/singer/multi-instrumentalist David Garland has been steadily shaping songs in new ways since 1980.

"Like many great songwriters before him, Garland pushes the limits of acceptable harmony and dissonance, yet never at the expense of beauty. If it's not possible for popular music to reach the heights of the great classical masters, it seems no one has told David Garland."
--Sean Lennon
