The Hand of Kindness (Live) lyrics
by Richard Thompson
[Verse 1]
Well, I wove the rope and I picked the spot
Oh, I stuck out my neck and I tightened the knot
Oh, stranger, stranger, I'm near out of time
You stretch out your hand, I stretch out mine
[Chorus]
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just a hand
Stranger, will you reach me in time?
In time
[Verse 2]
Oh, I shoot that old horse, break in the new
Oh, the hung are many and the living are few
I see your intention, here's my neck on thе line
You stretch out your hand, I stretch out minе
[Chorus]
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just a hand
Stranger, will you reach me in time?
In time
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
Oh, I wove the rope and I picked the spot
Oh, I stuck out my neck and I tightened the knot
Oh, stranger, stranger, I'm near out of time
You stretch out your hand, I stretch out mine
[Chorus]
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just a hand
Stranger, will you reach me in time?
In time
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just a hand
Stranger, will you reach me in time?
In time
