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
