Tropicadelic Soul Island - Hands Untied

Hands Untied

[Intro]
Wood on water, palms on stone,
Floating somewhere, never home—

[Verse 1]
Eyes trace the line of a silent blue
Horizon crooked, shifting too
The fisherman’s cap on another head
Passing plastic, drifting thread—

[Pre-Chorus]
Let it ride, let it slide, let it always circle wide,
Carry me, carry we, paper boat beside the tide—

[Chorus]
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied
Boat on the shoulder of the rolling tide
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied

[Verse 2]
Shadows sift in rising heat
Forest breathing, skipping beat
Carved initials on fading bark
Slivers gather in growing dark—

[Pre-Chorus]
Let it ride, let it slide, let it always circle wide,
Carry me, carry we, paper boat beside the tide—

[Chorus]
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied
Boat on the shoulder of the rolling tide
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied

[Bridge]
Leaves spinning, circles tight—
Blink and it changes, color to white—
Names unspoken, swept from the shore—
Repeat, repeat, less always more

[Chorus]
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied
Boat on the shoulder of the rolling tide
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied

[Outro]
Wood on water, palms on stone,
Paper boat, wooden shore—
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied
Wishing, watching, hands un-tied
