Lyrics

Verse 1

I don’t always hear it but I feel it workYour quiet asking cutting through the murkWhile I’m out grinding, you bow your headAnd somehow I make it back to our bed

Chorus

Folded handsPull me homeFolded handsI’m not alone

Verse 2

You don’t advertise it, you don’t make a sceneJust a faithful woman behind the unseenI used to think muscle was what pulled me throughThen I learned the stronger hands were you

Chorus

Folded handsPull me homeFolded handsI’m not alone

Bridge

I’ve had close calls and I’ve had long nightsWrong turns hiding just outside the lightsSomething always steered me off the edgeI know whose name was spoken like a pledge

Verse 3

Boots come off and the kettle singsYou look me over like you checked with wingsI kiss your forehead, I don’t need proofGirl, you keep a covering over this roof

Chorus

Folded handsPull me homeFolded handsI’m not alone

Bridge

Keep talking up for this stubborn manI’ll keep holding tight to your handBless the work and bless the yearsFolded hands. I believe it here
