These hands
2
+1985 Mark Cohen
3
The sky's clouding over, there's a breeze off the mountain
4
A chill in the air and the sound of the rain
5
It washes the trees and it fills the gray river
6
But it won't clean these hands and it can't heal the pain
7
I'm nobody special, I'm somebody's neighbor
8
Had a job in a store and I made decent pay
9
My wife and I lived in a two-room apartment
10
We'd a nine-month-old daughter and one on the way
11
It was Saturday night, I'd been working till seven
12
And then I'd gone out with the boys for a drink
13
Got home after nine, I was tired and hungry
14
And a little bit drunk, and in no mood to think
15
My wife was asleep and the baby was crying
16
Dirty dishes and diapers were piled around
17
She woke up and saw me, said, "Please feed the baby,
18
I'm tired and sick, and I need to lie down. "
19
I guess it was building a long time inside me
20
It must have been smoldering over the years
21
The dishes, the crying, the tiny apartment
22
Something let go, and my eyes blurred with tears
23
It seemed like her crying would go on forever
24
Louder and louder it pounded my brain
25
My thoughts were a fog of frustration and anger
26
I had to do something to stop all the pain
27
They say they don't know if she'll ever be walking
28
They say that my wife and new baby are well
29
They tell me I'll be here a little while longer
30
But there's one thing that nobody ever can tell
31
What makes a man raise his hand to a baby?
32
How can he strike his own daughter or son?
33
I wake every day to a nightmare of sorrow
34
And I wish that these hands could undo what they've done
