The Stray Birds Heavy Hands lyrics

Work, work my hands
Work my hands 'til they're blistered, bloody, and damned.
Walk, walk my feet,
Walk my feet down the dirt road, the alleys, and the streets.
Shine my light
Shine my light down the dark hole, the tunnels, and the nights

You know my name.
I feel you now.
Can you reach me, will you try?

Cross, cross this land
Cross this land o'er the prairies, the places, and the sands.
Dance, dance these lines.
Dance these lines through the moonlight, the willows, and the pines.
Take, take my time.
Take my time with the wild nights, the wonder, and the wine.


I dream of you and I
In the by and by.
Can you reach me, will you try?

I got heavy hands and the reins to bear it.
It's a foreign tale, I don't often share it.
This hungry feeling, still I wear it.
It's mine.
All the time.

I'd rather not wait
Until the day I die
Can you reach me?
Will you reach me?
Can you reach me, will you try?
