| 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 night;
|
| I 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,
|
| Oh 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… |
