Healing Hands Lyrics - Marc Cohn

Tonight I cried the tears of a child 

Who knows what fear runs deep and wild inside 

But the river's in flood tonight 

I lay down and the light streamed across my face 

I felt the beauty of some deeper grace and I tried 

To find my way to the other side 

I feel your skin as smooth as silk 

Drunk like a baby on his mama's milk 

Take me down under the wishing tree 

Lay your healing hands on me, on me 

Been a long time ridin' this deserted train 

There's no messiahs out here, baby 

But I found the holy grail all right 

'Cause I'm lyin' in your arms tonight 

Yeah, I feel your skin as smooth as silk 

Drunk like a baby on his mama's milk 

Take me down under the wishing tree 

And lay your healing hands on me, on me 

Ohh, ohh 

Yeah, I feel your skin as smooth as silk 

Drunk like a baby on his mama's milk 

Take me down under the wishing tree 

And lay your healing hands on me 

Lay your healing hands on me 

Oh, lay your healing hands 

Lay your healing hands on me 

Oh lay your healing hands on me, on me
