Can you hear me this time?
Come out of the shadows
My tender hands will hold you through the night
To hold me through the night
There's a light in the desert tonight
Will you lay them on my shoulders
I need tender hands tonight
Where are you now? I want you now
And I need, tender hands to hold me
And I need tender hands
Wondering why
And I need tender hands to take me
Under the moonlight
I want a friend, I want her now
Then, when it's over I have tender hands
And I need tender hands to take me
Will you lay them on my eyes
What I mean, when I say
Give me tender hands
All the way to paradise
I need tender hands tonight
Reaching your heart
Will you lay them on my eyes
Then, when it's over I need tender hands
Oh, give me, tender hands to take me
Touch me with your velvet mouth
All the way to paradise
You have tender hands
You know that I cannot always be strong
To hold you through the night, darling
I want a friend, I want a friend to lay down beside me
I am only a voice in a city of noise
Then, when it's over I need tender hands
That I need, tender hands to hold me
I see the storm grow
Will you lay them on my shoulders
I want your tender hands
All the way to paradise
To hold me through the night
Will you lay them on my shoulders
Someone who knows
I will give all the love that I have
Feeling the heartache
Where are you now? Where are you now?
