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
Been a long time riding this deserted train
there's no messiahs out here, baby
but i found the holy grail all right
'cause i'm lying in your arms tonight
yeah....
[chorus]
Lay your healing hands on me....
