Hands

from Newfoundland by Great North

/

lyrics

You ran straight cross the river
Into the Promised Land
As the wise men came bearing bullets
And medicine in their outstretched hands.
On the wings of plane you ascended
Sold your last breath to the western wind.

In the height of the evening
You were walking in your sleep
Fires taking hold in the valley beneath
They were rising angrily
Every road you ran took you further from me.
You said "that’s the way I am and that’s the way I’m going to be."

But it’s not blood that’s coursing in your veins
And it’s not water that’s pouring down your face
Darling, it’s the rain

And it’s come to wash both of us away
So what was once hidden will be held to the light of day
Hold me in your hands

Now you’re calling like wolves in the water.
