Oh hand of mine
wrap yourself around my neck
Then, oh, give me life, give me life
Oh hand of mine
hold the strings to the fret
then, oh, give them life, give them life
Now there's a thing I don't control
It festers in my soul
It's not the heart, and it's not the mind
It's a force of a different kind
Oh hand of mine
wrap yourself around my love
Then, oh, steal his life, steal his life
And oh, heart or mine
hold your music deep
Then, oh, give me time, give me time
Now there's a thing I don't control
It festers in my soul
It's not the heart and it's not the mind
It's a force of a different kind
wrap yourself around my neck
Then, oh, give me life, give me life
Oh hand of mine
hold the strings to the fret
then, oh, give them life, give them life
Now there's a thing I don't control
It festers in my soul
It's not the heart, and it's not the mind
It's a force of a different kind
Oh hand of mine
wrap yourself around my love
Then, oh, steal his life, steal his life
And oh, heart or mine
hold your music deep
Then, oh, give me time, give me time
Now there's a thing I don't control
It festers in my soul
It's not the heart and it's not the mind
It's a force of a different kind
