Your Hands

Keepin' the wolves at bay

When there's rust in the leaves it's a sign that the moods gonna change

And come pick a fight

So I'll wrap my self up in my jacket and gloves

Disguised in the hide of a cow

As if my skin weren't enough

To protect me from the elements

Fighting and shouting above

Bursting apart like a landmine

Everything seems to uncork and fester like wine

Loosen the strings on the boat

I try to unwind but my minds spinning out now

I'm still shooting blind

And I hit things occasionally, but in fear

The need to be tougher than any man alive

As if my skin weren't to cloak me from the storm

And I need your hands

To lie here in this ground

And I need your heart here, so I can hear the sound

Of my own

Mistrusting my lucky stars

Burned out but I still think they're shining

Like an ocean of watches and clocks they tell different times

You give me your match, you give me a choice

And our secret is silent, it's still at night

I could scavenge around watching the woodland

The keys to keeping the calm

But my minds not enough to keep my soul calm

'Till one there's more messenger gone

Like a rusty blade to keep the wolves at bay

And I need your hands here

To lighten this ground

And I need your heart here

So I can hear the sound

I need your hand here

To lighten this ground

And I need your heart here, baby, so I can hear the sound, of my own
