Hands Lyrics - Guy Clark

A hand is just another kind of hammer made of steel 

Beating blindly on the anvil a hammer cannot feel 

But a hand is for reaching out and touching all you can 

Holding on and hoping that you'll come to understand 

[Chorus] 

So always try to keep you heart connected to your wrist 

Cause everybody knows that you can't shake hands with a fist 

A fist is just another kind of tower made of stone 

Without a window anywhere you know a tower stands alone 

But a hand can open windows that have never seen the light 

Lead you through the darkness and guide you through the night 

[Chorus]
