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 came across the land
A dog started cryin'
Like a broken-hearted man
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 hands of love
Like the stars shiny from above
A hand in the pocket fingering the steel
The pistol weighed heavy
And his heart he could feel was beating
Oh my love, oh my love
So hands that build
Can also pull down
The hands of love
