The Gift Too Many Hands song lyrics
So do you think life has done you wrong?
Too little harmony to sweeten the song
Relationships have come and gone
Their light and shadows linger on
Throughout the years
Remembered laughter, silent tears
Hearing footsteps on the stair
When you know there's no one there
As your peace of mind keeps rolling away
Asking friends who try to care
Why nothing in your life is fair
Every little choice eroding away
Too many hands reach out in vain
With a voice of flint, two eyes diamond hard
All your former glories rusting in the backyard
Remember the days of green and gold
When you thought your heart would not grow old
Hopeful and strong
As the Rite of Spring played on and on
Hearing footsteps on the stair
When you know there's no one there
As your peace of mind keeps rolling away
Asking friends who try to care
Why nothing in your life is fair
Every little choice eroding away
Too many hands reach out in vain
Some nights
It's like you're living someone else's life
Just like the fuse has blown on all your lights
You can't see your way home
There's a corridor, you've seen it in your dreams
Where every door is numbered with the ages you've been
As number zero opens wide, hold your breath, walk inside
Then cradle the child, so perfect, beautiful and wild
No more footsteps on the stair
You're the only one who's there
So leave your haunted house and run to the sea
All your friends are waiting there
Playing truth and double dare
Shouting, "Come on, come on, dive in with me!"
So many hands reach out as one
