Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Now 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Oh
Oh
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Lay your healing hands on me, whoa
Lay your healing hands
Lay your healing hands on me, whoa
Lay your healing hands on me, on me
