UM 858 - Both Hands - Dec 13, 2008


written like summer
swinging like gangsters
one armed bandits
in the aching twilight

handsome figures
posting up shadows
resting old in the end
on a slow saturday night

well I forgot all that I was dreaming of
my brain had been washed by both hands of love

one tree hanging low
a vine tangled rose
the branches ask for it
more of the same lunacy

yeah the moon eats your spirit
it's vile like an eye
punching holes in the time
making rounds for an effigy

well I forgot all that I was dreaming of
my will had been caught in both hands of love

sweet lady speak to me
well I'm begging at your door
that ain't your style I know

please don't send me away
baby just strangle me once more
strangle me once more
and answer my prayers
for this fantasy season
with the dust swept under
the blood covered dash

be an angel over me
and handle all my fate
'cause it's too hot to sleep tonight
without the sting of your lash

well I forgot all that I was dreaming of
my will had been caught by both hands of love

well I forgot what I was dreaming of
my will had been caught by both hands of love
