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.
