Tender Hands

Oh how, at the journey's end, I lie in the heat of the night

Feeling the heartache, wondering why, I want a friend

I want a friend to lay down beside me

I want a friend, I want her now, someone who knows what I mean

when I say, that I need

Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight

Will you lay them on my shoulders

Will you lay them on my eyes

And I need tender hands to take me

All the way to paradise, and then, when it's over

I need tender hands to hold me through the night

Touch me with your velvet mouth, I will give all the love that I have

Under the moonlight, reaching your heart

Where are you now, where are you now, come out of the shadows

Where are you now, I want you now

You know that I cannot always be strong, and I need

Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight

Will you lay them on my shoulders

Will you lay them on my eyes, and I need

Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise

And then, when it's over, I need tender hands

To hold me through the nights

A am only a voice in a city of noise, can you hear me this time

I see the storm grow, there's a light in the desert tonight

And I need tender hands, give me tender hands

Will you lay them on my shoulders, o give me

Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise

And then when it's over, I have tender hands

To hold you through the night, darling,

My tender hands will hold you through the night

I want your tender hands, you have tender hands

I want those tender hands, tender hands
