on a crowded street or from a passing car

i can see the world from where i am

people stand in line so they can buy their things

they buy a vegetable or a can



C--i taste the water and the water tastes hot

i taste the water and the water tastes hot

hands of love, they keep on slipping

hands of love, they keep on gripping



my home, it might as well just be a cave

and the ones next door don't talk to me

and when i'm lying in bed at night i hear the sounds

of the sirens and the dogs and the people screaming--C



i taste the water and the water tastes hot

i taste the water and the water tastes hot

whistle down the...whistle down the road

(hands of love, they keep on slipping)

whistle down the...whistle down the road

(hands of love, they keep on gripping)

whistle down the...whistle down the road

(hands of love, they keep on slipping)



hands of love
