Tender Hands

<br>Oh how, at the journey`s end, I lie in the heat of the night,<br>Feeling the heartache, wondering why, I want a friend,<br>I want a friend to lay down beside me,<br>I want a friend, I want her now, someone who knows what I mean<br>When I say, that I need<br><br>Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight,<br>Will you lay them on my shoulders.<br>Will you lay them on my eyes,<br>And I need tender hands to take me,<br>All the way to paradise, and then, when it`s over,<br>I need tender hands to hold me through the night;<br><br>Touch me with your velvet mouth, I will give all the love that I have,<br>Under the moonlight, reaching your heart,<br>Where are you now, where are you now, come out of the shadows,<br>Where are you now, I want you now,<br>You know that I cannot always be strong, and I need<br><br>Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight,<br>Will you lay them on my shoulders.<br>Will you lay them on my eyes, and I need<br>Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise,<br>And then, when it`s over, I need tender hands<br>To hold me through the nights;<br><br>I am only a voice in a city of noise, can you hear me this time,<br>I see the storm grow, there`s light in the desert tonight;<br><br>And I need tender hands, give me tender hands,<br>Will you lay them on my shoulders, oh give me<br>Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise,<br>And then when it`s over, I have tender hands<br>To hold you through the night, darling,<br>My tender hands will hold you through the night;<br><br>I want your tender hands, you have tender hands,<br>I want those tender hands, tender hands . . .
