Healing Hands - Danny Vaughn

I never thought I’d find my own way

That love had slipped away

And left me cold

I was swinging at shadows

I was handing out blame

Until you came

To fill my soul

'Cause it wasn’t in my bottle

Or the bottom of my glass

I couldn’t see it in my future

Or the wreckage of my past

Lay me down

Roll me over

Be my teacher

Be my lover

Show me how to fly

Help me to stand

With your healing hands

Would you drive with me westward?

Put some miles beneath these wheels

'Til trouble feels far behind

With all the passion in my body

Naked skin and naked soul

I need you to be mine

Somehow the words all failed me

In that quiet candle light

But you smiled and touched me gently

Told me it would be all right

Lay me down

Roll me over

Be my teacher

Be my lover

Show me how to fly

Help me to stand

With your healing hands

In a circle of two

Around Santa Fe fires

We made magic with our eyes

And in the waist deep snows of Yellowstone

There was no one but God and you and I

To save our lives

But I swear I found religion

On the South Dakota plains

And in you I have salvation

Over my poor, lost remains

Oh, lay me down…

Lay me down

Roll me over

Be my teacher

Be my lover

Show me how to fly

Help me to stand

With your healing hands

Lay me down

Roll me over

Be my teacher

Be my lover

I’ll be your shelter

Yours to command

With your healing hands
