Beautiful man of the sea
Come give me your hands
Riddled with stories and scars
Of the dancing with nets upon the swell
And the gathering of silver fish

Beautiful man of the heard
Come give me your hands
Riddled with stories and scars
Of coaxing calves to be born on cold winter nights
And the gathering of amber beasts

Chorus
I’ll hold those beautiful hands
And I’ll remember with you
For those hands held the worry of the world
One story, one scar at a time

Beautiful man of the woods
Come give me your hands
Riddled with stories and scars
The turning of saw and the falling of the tree
And the gathering of honeyed wood

Beautiful man of the tune
Come give me your hands
Riddled with stories and scars
Of music played from beyond memory
And the gathering of melodies

Chorus
I’ll hold those beautiful hands
And I’ll remember with you
For those hands held the worry of the world
One story, one scar at a time
