Hands

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we’re all okay
And not to worry ‘cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these

I won’t be made useless
I won’t be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small, I know
But they’re not yours, they are my own
But they’re not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

Poverty stole your golden shoes
But it didn’t steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn’t ever after

We’ll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what’s right
'Cause where there’s a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small I know
But they’re not yours, they are my own
But they’re not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

My hands are small I know
But they’re not yours, they are my own
But they’re not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

My hands are small I know
But they’re not yours, they are my own
But they’re not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God’s eyes
God’s hands
God’s mind
We are God’s eyes
God’s hands
God’s heart
We are God’s eyes
God’s hands
God’s eyes
We are God’s hands
We are God’s hands

Have A Little Faith In Me

by ?

When the road gets dark
You can no longer see
Just let my love throw spark, baby
And have a little faith in me
When the tears you cry
Oh you can't believe
Just give these loving arms a try, baby
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

When your sacred heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darlin'
From a whisper's start
Have a little faith in me
When your back's against the wall
Turn around, you will see
I will catch ya, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

I've been loving you for such a long long time, baby
Spent another little time just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
For you and me there is no..
All you gotta do is have a little faith in me
I said 'I'm holding on, I'm holding on'
Strenght is enough
All you gotta do is have a little faith in me
Hey baby, ohh baby
Ohh, all you gotta do is have a little faith in me
Ohh, all you gotta do is have a little faith in me
Ohh ohh, in me
Have a little faith in me

Here When Gone

I am a woman haunted by hands
Even though I'm alone
Traces of Pompey
Across my skin
And an invisible map
Of where you've been

It's dry road to Idaho
A thirsty tongue across the land
And soil so dry
It could swallow an entire man

Took the first road out of town
Hoping that you were just skin deep
Well I feel you like
Some sort of phantom limb
Beside me when I sleep

'Cause you are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
And your memory is haunting my skin
'Cause You are here when gone
You are here when gone

I watch another grey day unfold
It's dusty wings
Sometimes I wish I were more like
Rocks and stones and things
Sometimes I wish my heart
Were not like flowers at all
That way I wouldn't get butterflies
When you called

And the night swallows itself
You can see it in the stars
The moon blinks it's tired eyes
I may be a thousand miles to nowhere
Does that make me lost or found?
Or is it that relative to if you're around?

And some birds abandon their young
'Cause the instinct is too strong to fly
Well I feel like abandoning
My guitar and my books and I'm afraid
I don't know why

'Cause you are here when gone
You are here when gone
You are here when gone
And your memory is haunting my skin
'Cause You are here when gone
You are here when gone

His Pleasure Is My Pain (Too Sensitive)

A man stands in the doorway like a small child
Angry fists
She lies on her bed her head buried in her pillow
And she stares at the moon
He speaks to her all the words she's heard too many times before
And pretty soon she just lets his voice fade away
And she thinks,

This was a gradual steel frost
That started with cold feet
And ended with numb hearts
This was once satisfying sex but now no longer is
It was once filled with the possibilities of new china or old stone
But now it's exagerated and waterlogged no longer what these hands had intended and still I cry in my sleep

He always said I was too sensitive,
But I say,
At least I never meant to make him cry
At least I never meant to make him hurt that way
No I never meant to make him cry
Never meant to make him hurt that way

Yes it's true, I'm too sensitive
But he takes pleasure in my pain

Yes it's true, I'm too senstive
But he takes pleasure in my pain

In the unheard hours they fly by,
She goes to the window
She puts on a nightgown and brushes her hair
He's already asleep
By the time she goes and lays back down
She thinks,
My god, what am i doing here?

My bones have grown tired of his hunger, of his gray eyes,
And I feel if I were to stay one more night here I'd die or explode
Or worse yet just fade away

There have been days so dark that I feel like august
And I soon too would turn to fall

He always said I was too sensitive that if I cared so much the world could kill me that way
I wonder if he's only half alive or if he's simply always been this inarticulate
'Cause i say,

At least I never meant to make him cry
At least I never meant to make him hurt that way
No I never meant to make him cry
Never meant to make him hurt that way

And she get's out of bed and looks at her feet as though they were the
Wings
For her freedom
She gets up and goes to the door,
It's a moment in which anything can happen
Instead she gets out some clothing
Puts it in a bag and leaves him sleeping
While she heads for the door

Hotel Angel (Moon Over Austin)

Sweet man, sweet mystery
Unveil yourself to me
Sweet soul, lie so still
Flesh cup, gonna get my fill
Let me rise and fall
With the wings of your sheets
While the moon's full over Austin
The city sleeps below
Only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Your body be a tender vine
That twists and turns just like mine
Your heart a slender thong
Filled with honey, built with song
'Til dawn steals you from me
And takes me to the next town
But tonight the moon's full over Austin
And babies lie below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
There's one thing that keeps me going
It's the slow and easy knowing
You're the kind of man
Who's kind of girl could maybe give her hand
So sweet man in your sweet misery
Lie upon my temporary sea
Love's dressing, I will adorn
To my side your absence be thorn
And I'll rock you gently to sleep
Tonight is one promise we both can keep
While the moon's full over Austin
And the thieves all steal below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Hotel angel
Through the window
