Subject: Lyr Add: THE HAND OF KINDNESS (Richard Thompson)
The Hand Of Kindness Written by Richard Thompson
Well I wove the rope and I picked the spot Well I struck out my neck and I tightened the knot O stranger, stranger, I'm near out of time You stretch out your hand, I stretched out mine
O maybe just the hand of kindness Maybe just the hand of kindness Maybe just a hand, stranger will you reach me in time In time
Well I scuppered the ship and I bent the rail Well, I cut the brakes and I ripped the sail And they called me a Jonah, it's a sin I survived Well, you stretched out your hand, I stretched out mine
Maybe just the hand of kindness Well, maybe just the hand of kindness O maybe just a hand, stranger will you reach me in time In time
O shoot that old horse and break in the new O the hung are many and the living are few I see your intention, here's my neck on the line You stretch out your hand I stretched out mine
Well, maybe just the hand of kindness O maybe just the hand of kindness Well, maybe just a hand, stranger will you reach me in time In time
O maybe just the hand of kindness Well, maybe just the hand of kindness Well, maybe just a hand, stranger will you reach me in time In time.
