You know he got the cure, you know 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 cut across the land
A dog started crying like a broken hearted man
At the howling wind, at the howling wind
He went deeper into black, deeper into white
Could see the stars shining like nails in the night
He felt the healing, healing, healing, healing hands of love
Like the stars shiny shiny from above
Hand in the pocket, finger on the steel
The pistol weighed heavy, his heart he could feel
Was beating, beating, beating, beating
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love, oh my love
My love
He saw the hands that build
Can also pull down the hands of love
