You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devils-maker
Let me hear you sing, hey-ya hey-ya

Wolf-father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shape-shifter
Let me see you run, hey-ya hey-ya

Wayward winds, a voice that sings
Of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of war
Oh, lend a mending hand

When I run through the deep dark forest long
After this begun
Where the sun would set
The trees were dead
And the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace
To lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound there was only me, and my disgrace

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey-a)

Once stood tall
Giants of the green
Now they bow
Falling
Unseen
Ash and ember
Choking breeze
In the wind
Whispers of trees
Streams once clear
Now black and gray
Ran with life
Now they decay
In their depths
Shadows of old
Mother's tears
Tales untold
But hope
It grows
Beneath the pain
In the cracks
Through the rain
Gentle hands
Mending the scars
Reaching high
Towards the stars
Footsteps soft on fading trails
Silent songs
Heartbeats wail
In the soil
Seeds of light
Breaking dawn
Darkest night
Rustling leaves
Timeless plea
Echoes lost
We're meant to be
In each root
Love's embrace
In our souls
Nature's grace
But hope
It grows
Beneath the pain
In the cracks
Through the rain
Gentle hands
Mending the scars
Reaching high
Towards the stars
But hope
It grows
Beneath the pain
In the cracks
Through the rain
Gentle hands
Mending the scars
Reaching high
Towards the stars

Wheels Over Me

Mew

Eggs Are Funny

2010

Mending hand bleeding and
Lend my hands the wheel, you fly over me
Let it go now, you've been glad too
With my hand as the wheel you cry over me
I would like to be a child
Drown with me until you die

I thought I, I heard you cry
But it's just the wheels that ride over me
But then I, I know that's why
When I hear you sneeze

You're my dancing girl
I never thought you'd mean the world
It's why I'm here and why it seems reliable
So much time for us
There's nowhere here but there it was
The tale I had, and you became a friend again

I can hear them
They lost their sense and feelings
When you touch the wheel
I'll be alright asleep forever

I would like to be a child
Drown with me until you die

You're my dancing girl
I never thought you'd mean the world
It's why I'm here, and why it seems reliable
So much time for us
There's nowhere here but there it was

Hands
You know the ones
End of an arm
Getting all the fun

Hands
Our eyes in the dark
Such potential
For these utensils

Hands
Fourteen phalanges
Made for lending
For breaking and mending

Hands
Hands
These agents for intention

One minute fighting
The next playing

Hands
They’ve got lots to give
Everywhere I look
People do amazing things with

Hands
Can’t someone gimme a sign?

Pieces on the Ground

Patty Loveless

Strong Heart

2000

Let a ray of hope come shining
So I may look up at the sky
And see a glimpse of tomorrow
Where I'm standing in the light
Let me climb upon the hilltop
Healing hands can touch me now
They will mend this broken body
In pieces on the ground

The human heart's a fragile thing
It shatters just like glass
Gather up all these splinters
Crush them into grains of sand
So the wind may scatter them
Towards the angels looking down
They will mend this broken body
In pieces on the ground

Then a ray of hope came shining
When I looked into your eyes
I saw all of my tomrrows
And we're standing in the light
We are high upon a hilltop
Healing hands touching me and
Mending this broken body
In pieces on the ground

Sun beats down
On a lonely stretch
Engine sputters
A final wretch

Stranded here
Miles from nowhere
Frustration hangs heavy in the air

Distant rumble
A glint of chrome
A savior arrives
Bringing us home

Roadside brothers
With hearts of gold
Mending breakdowns
A helping hand on a dusty road
A brotherhood forged, a heavy load
Shared tools and grease-stained smiles
Turning troubles into a few short miles

Hope dwindles
Shadows grow long
But then a flicker
A welcome song

No payment asked
Just a friendly wave
A reminder that kindness
Is truly brave

Roadside brothers
With hearts of gold
Mending breakdowns
A helping hand on a dusty road
A brotherhood forged, a heavy load
Shared tools and grease-stained smiles
Turning troubles into a few short miles

Stories exchanged
A cup of joe
A bond forged
Where the engines glow

Miles may separate
Paths may diverge
But the memory remains
A sheltering surge of gratitude
A bond so strong
Reminding us where we belong

Kindred spirits
A silent vow
To help a brother out somehow

Roadside brothers
With hearts of gold
Mending breakdowns
A helping hand on a dusty road
A brotherhood forged, a heavy load
Shared tools and grease-stained smiles
Turning troubles into a few short miles

Life on the road
A web we weave
Where strangers
Become the ones who believe

Pine for elation
Hope in all translations
I saw a stable flare
To guide us through the open air

We pine like scared patients
With all the time we've taken
Anchor the remainder
Some fall, some learn

But we are breaking through
With no tools in our hands
We are mending you

We are changing too
Small steps that travel
And these are the reasons to
Keep talking

We pine but we're focused
With no more time to readjust
We saw a stable flare
To guide us through, to see us through

But we are breaking through
With no tools in our hands
We are mending you

We are changing too
Small steps that travel
And these are the reasons to
Keep talking

But we are breaking through
With no tools in our hands
We are mending you

We are changing too
Small steps that travel
And these are the reasons to
Keep talking

In a world that's broken with hearts that need to mend
There's a man who stands tall with love he'll extend
He didn't cause the pain but he'll ease the sorrow
Building dreams for today and hopes for tomorrow
Respect the man who heals a heart he didn't break
With gentle hands mending pieces for love's sake
He steps in strong where others might forsake
Raising a child he didn't make for that love we celebrate
He walks the path of kindness never looking back
With every step he takes he keeps us on track
A father to the fatherless a beacon in the night
Guiding with wisdom leading with light
Respect the man who heals a heart he didn't break
With gentle hands mending pieces for love's sake
He steps in strong where others might forsake
Raising a child he didn't make for that love we celebrate
He walks the path of kindness never looking back
With every step he takes he keeps us on track
A father to the fatherless a beacon in the night
Guiding with wisdom leading with light
In the quiet moments he whispers words so kind
Planting seeds of courage in a worried mind
He knows the power of love the strength of giving
In every life he touches there's a new beginning
Through the storms of life he stands like a tree
Rooted in compassion his spirit set free
He didn't start the fire but he'll put out the flames
Turning tears into smiles with no need for fame
Respect the man who heals a heart he didn't break
With gentle hands mending pieces for love's sake
He steps in strong where others might forsake
Raising a child he didn't make for that love we celebrate
So here's to the man with a heart pure and true
In every act of kindness we see the world anew
Respect is earned in the love that he gives
For healing hearts and raising kids that's the way he lives

Have I told you lately that I'll be there till the end? 

Two friends lost in the dark 
Two hands for mending hearts 
Two souls unite as one 
Two friends, found in the dark 

Have I told you lately that I loved you today?

Don't like it when you call me precious
Coming out it sounds so vicious
Don't like it when you're sympathizing
With your eyes so patronizing

Never say never you never thought
I wouldn't need you and neither did I

No more codependence no more mending fences
It all leads to bad dreams
Now I'm wide awake no more psycodrama
No more of your dirty karma believe me
I wash my hands clean watch me walk away

Sorry I don't have a tissue
For all your pathetic issues
Sorry I don't feel so sorry
When you touch me you're in such a hurry

Never say never you never thought
I wouldn't leave you and neither did I

No more codependence no more mending fences
It all leads to bad dreams
Now I'm wide awake no more psycodrama
No more of your dirty karma believe me
I wash my hands clean watch me walk away

No more no more watch me walk away
No more no more watch me walk away
No more no more watch me walk away
Just watch me walk away watch me walk away
There's nothing you can say, no more
Just watch me walk away

No more codependence
No more mending fences (Watch me walk away)
It all leads to bad dreams (No more)
Now I'm wide awake
No more psycodrama (Watch me walk away)
No more of your dirty karma believe me
I wash my hands clean
Just watch me walk away watch me walk away
Watch me walk away

I'm all on the inside
Need my life made wild
Join my billing troupe
Unseen in a hidden group

A long time, on the road
Sullen Ian is headed home
Unknown to his own kind
The pacifists know he lied

Oh, he's a darling boy
He's in my broken hopes
Dancing on my Celtic dreams
He's always more than he seems

Broken hand, mending soul
Hates his life, knows nothing at all
Derision is a loaded scorn
Look at him, his mind is torn

I'm all on the inside
Need my life made wild
Join my billing troupe
Unseen in a hidden group

Oh, he's a darling boy
He's in my broken hopes
Dancing on my Celtic dreams
He's always more than he seems

Walked in your garden of Eden
Fell in the hole of your sentiments
Trying to find the ground too soon

You came like the swarming of killer bees
Stung in the eyes now I'll never see
If you're the moon disguised as the sun

We severed the ties leading to golden open roads
Unable to fly or ever take hold

Your candle bleeds the light that I adore
More heavenly than any ember - you're gold

Mending our lives with your healing hands
Straight as the blind with severely bent hammers
And alibis for tools

Your candle bleeds the life that I live for
More candidly than I remember

To the humble heart
We cry our dear once when they're gone
We let the quarrels break the bond
We hold them back on what they want.

No mending
Recoil your hand before it cuts
Bind up your mouth and it won't hurt
Appraise (sort out) what counts and...

I have seen the many faces
I fear in the pain
I have watched the tears fall plenty
From heart ache and strength
So if life's journey, Has you weary and afraid
There's rest in the shadow of his wings
I have walked through the valleys
The mountains and plains
I have held the hand of freedom
It washes all my stains
If you feel the weight of many trials
And burdens from this world
There's freedom in the shelter of the Lord

I have seen
The healing hand of God
Reaching out and mending broken hearts
Taste and see the fullness of His peace
And hold on to what's being held out
The healing hand of God

I have touched the scars upon His hands
To see if they were real
He has walked the road before me
He knows just how I feel
When you feel there is not anyone
Who understands your pain
Just remember all of Jesus' suffering

I have seen
The healing hand of God
Reaching out and mending broken hearts
Taste and see the fullness of His peace
And hold on to what's being held out
The healing hand of God

Cast all your cares on Him
For He cares for you
He's near to the broken and confused
By His stripes
Our spirit is renewed
So enter in the joy prepared for you

I have seen
The healing hand of God
Reaching out and mending broken hearts
Taste and see the fullness of His peace
And hold on to what's being held out
The healing hand of God

The healing hand of God [x2]
And hold on to what's being held out [x2]
The healing hand of God
Oh Oh Oh Oh

When I'm with you, I feel like myself
No stranger, the shadow of somebody else
When I feel you holding my hand
I get touched, ain't this life grand?

But the form of a life is long never ending
And the smell of your hello, I know
And the smile of a knife is seldom befriending
And the smell of tangelo, I know

When I'm near you, I feel like a king
A life force inside to do anything
When I'm downtown, I pick up the phone
I hear you and I'm not alone

But the form of a life is long never ending
And the smell of your hello, I know
And the smile of a knife is seldom befriending
And the smell of tangelo, I know

But December came strong, the mending went wrong
And the clothes on the line never dried
And the crows on my hill came in for the kill
But the dream of this love never died

When I lost you out in that field
My crooked eyes could hardly conceal
Tell me one time and bring me my tray
Oh, let it go and now I must pray
Let's pray

So cut me a big slice of cheese
Sit with me on the floor pretty please
Guitar and an old chess board
Nothing more today

News is filled with war and gore
Wolves are always at the door
So rest with me awhile more, rest

There'll be time enough to stare it down
the world on fire with a broken crown
Try our hands at mending, defending
Something pure and true
Well darlin' this here's good work too

Every time we soften
Our bodies mostly water can renew

Eyes on your feet
Every step synced to the sounds around Of constant beating rhythm
As if the flesh was torn from your back The all-surrounding doubt
The global breath on your neck Everyone that trudges next to you
Is supposed to chant one thing
Repent, Repent, Repent, Repent

Penance is bittersweet 
Sweet to the Shepherd
And Bitter to the sheep 
You're always Eager
To lend a helping hand
To those mending your whip

Chained to the ground
Not allowed to look back, or slow down 
Used to the sound
Of the preaching crowd
Preaching hate and doubt

The taste of penance 
Is so, so sweet
Too bad it's bitter
To the fucking sheep

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, you have found peace
You were searching for release

You gave it all
You gave into the call
You took a chance and
You took a fall for us

You give thoughtfully, loved me faithfully
You taught me honor, you did it for me

Tonight you will sleep for good
You will wait for me my love

Now I am strong (Now I am strong)
You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, look what you can do
I am mending, I'll be with you

You took my hand and added a plan
You gave me your heart
I asked you to dance with me

You loved honestly
Did what you could release

I know in peace you go
I won't relieve this love

Now I am strong (Now I am strong)
You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, I'll be with you

My Love

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, you have found peace
You were searching for release

You gave it all
You gave into the call
You took a chance and
You took a fall for us

You give thoughtfully, loved me faithfully
You taught me honor, you did it for me

Tonight you will sleep for good
You will wait for me my love

Now I am strong (Now I am strong)
You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, look what you can do
I am mending, I'll be with you

You took my hand and added a plan
You gave me your heart
I asked you to dance with me

You loved honestly
Did what you could release

I know in peace you go
I won't relieve this love

Now I am strong (Now I am strong)
You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, I'll be with you

[Verse]
Sunrise over the water
Healing light on our skin
We are waiting for a change now
Let the mending begin

[Verse 2]
Hands reaching through the shadows
Hearts lifting to the sky
In the touch of gentle kindness
We feel the reasons why

[Chorus]
cngels guiding us through
Healing wounds we once knew
They mend us piece by piece
Bringing endless peace

[Verse 3]
Broken pieces
Wide open spaces
Bringing them back together
In the glow of unity
We face the stormy weather

[Verse 4]
cs the world moves slower now
We can breathe
We can heal
With the warmth of love around
Everything becomes so real

[Bridge]
Through the pain
Through the scars
We rise up and go far
In their light
We are strong
Together
We belong

Hold On

The Nadas

Transceiver

2003

You're stuck to the bust it's steaming
Steaming pull back your hair With half
A picture of us you're leaving leaving
Your only half way there

On a string around your neck he's
Admiring my ring caught in a sidelong
Stare Every minute you check without 
Thinking thinking to see if it's still 

There it is and
Hold on hold everything I've stopped
Breathing Hold on hold on your little
Ring I'll do anything again

And you dance through my head we're
Sinking sinking remember when I cared
You spilled your wine in my bed we
Were drinking drinking it's funny how

We were paired here and 
Peel yourself off the bus I'm standing
Standing where you land With half a
Picture of us I'm mending mending
And you take my hand again and

And have you gone to lend your hand?
And do you lie broken and dying now?
I wanna die

Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love

Drawing water from the well
Spilling over on the grass
Walking home, my heart is filled with pain
Woe is me

Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love
Go your way, my love

I don't know if you'll understand
But I'm hoping that you'll follow me down to the waterway
I'll be there if you change your mind
Listening to the ticking of the hands on a clock working overtime

[Chorus]
If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl I've seen your face on every girl that I've held since you went away
It's getting late and I have to know
I'm mending the wings of a heart that was broken not so long ago

[Chorus]

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

Falling asleep at three AM, starting to miss what we had then
Loving alone is the hardest part, starting to think you broke my heart
Hold me, but you don't know me
It's not like you to leave me here alone
Slowly, leave me lonely
I should have known it when you said his name
Could you ever understand
Could you ever understand my love for you
Would you ever understand my
Would you ever understand my love for you, my love for you
Do you want out of this, do you want out of this
Do you want out of this, do you want out of this
I'd hate to fill you in, but I've been feeling empty lately
And you just don't understand
I'm picking up the pieces of a broken vase in Florence
And I'm mending it by hand
And I thought I knew, when you said I do
That this is always meant to be, now it's over
Hold me, but you don't know me
It's not like you to leave me here alone
Slowly, leave me lonely
I should have known it when you said his name
Could you ever understand
Could you ever understand my love for you
Would you ever understand my
Would you ever understand my love for you, my love for you
Do you want out of this, do you want out of this
Do you want out of this, do you want out of this
