Loving Hand

There came a time when life confound

The very things that held my ground

One black thursday

A sweet sixteen amphetamine

I used her until she used me

Sweet liberties

No holy roller, bad controller

Could rescue a man from that dark water

That engulfed me

Fixed and caught up, blocked and locked up

That's a prison no man breaks out of

My back against the wall

To the loving hand, to the loving hand

Could you bring back some of my friends?

To the loving hand, to the loving hand

To you i make my amends

There's no lover, there's no cover

I got hit and there i shuddered

My heart was very still

Doc, i've been shot hold me down

Get me out of this scenester town

And you can have my crown

Of a loving hand, to the loving hand

Could you bring back some of my friends?

To the loving hand, to the loving hand

Could you bring back some of my friends?

I headed west, such a mess

A 26 ounce life better blessed

I fell to my knees

In that cold wind of the pacific rim

All those bad things i sat in

Until i gave my sin

To the loving hand, to the loving

To you i make my amends

Loving hand, to the loving hand

To you i make my amends

My amends, my amends

To the loving hand
