You know he got the cure But then he went astray He used to stay awake To drive the dreams he had away. He wanted to believe In the hands of love. His head it felt heavy As he came across the land A dog started cryin' Like a broken-hearted man At the howling wind At the howling wind. He went deeper into black Deeper into white. He could see the stars shine Like nails in the night. He felt the healing Healing, healing, healing hands of love Like the stars shiny, shiny from above. A hand in the pocket Fingering the steel The pistol weighed heavy And his heart he could feel was beating Beating, beating, beating, Oh my love, oh my love Oh my love, oh my love. So hands that build Can also pull down The hands of love.
