Tame Hands

They were tame hands when we first met There must be another way Troubled times they came and left me Then they came again How far down does this hole take me Throw a penny in the well Put an ear toward the bottom But I can't tell I hope we're friendly But I can't say for sure my mind, it comes and goes We just talked on the phone Hoping you'll let me Try to let it go Voices rising from the water Singing soft and singing slow Draws me in and then it drowns me In the undertow I hope we're friendly But I can't say for sure My mind, it comes and goes We just talked on the phone Hoping you'll let me Try to let it go I can't make out your expression But there's old lines on your face Must have been some good times bad times It has left a trace I don't even wanna try to let it go But it's time I've got to go I don't even wanna try to let it go But it's time and this I know I don't even wanna try to let it go I don't even wanna try to let it go I don't even wanna try to let it go I don't even wanna try to let it go I don't even wanna try to let it go I don't even wanna try to let it go I don't even wanna try to let it go I don't even wanna try
