Richard Thompson hand of kindness

Select language to translate this lyric

Well, I wove the rope and I picked the spot
Well, I struck out my neck and I tightened the knot
Oh, stranger, stranger, I'm near out of time
You stretch out your hand, I stretched out mine
Oh, maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just a hand
Stranger will you reach me in time, in time
Well I scuppered the ship and I bent the rail
Well, I cut the brakes and I ripped the sail
And they called me a Jonah, it's a sin I survived
Well, you stretched out your hand, I stretched out mine
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Well, maybe just the hand of kindness
Oh, maybe just a hand
Stranger will you reach me in time, in time
Oh, shoot that old horse and break in the new
Oh, the hung are many and the living are few
I see your intention, here's my neck on the line
You stretch out your hand I stretched out mine
Well maybe just the hand of kindness
Oh, maybe just the hand of kindness
Well, maybe just a hand
Stranger will you reach me in time, in time
Oh, maybe just the hand of kindness
Well, maybe just the hand of kindness
Well, maybe just a hand
Stranger will you reach me in time, in time
