The Wishing Tree

Healing Hands

By Marc Cohn

Tonight I cried the tears of a child
Who knows what fear runs deep and wild
Inside
But the river’s in flood tonight

I lay down and the light streamed across my face
I felt the beauty of some deeper grace
And I tried
To find my way to the other side

Now I feel your skin as smooth as silk
Drunk like a baby on his mama’s milk
Take me down under the wishing tree
Lay your healing hands on me
On me

Been a long time riding this deserted train
There’s no messiahs out here, baby
But I found the Holy Grail all right
‘Cause I’m lying in your arms tonight

Yeah, I feel your skin as smooth as silk
Drunk like a baby on his mama’s milk
Take me down under the wishing tree
And lay your healing hands on me
On me

I feel your skin as smooth as silk
Drunk like a baby on his mama’s milk
Take me down under the wishing tree
And lay your healing hands on me
Lay your healing hands on me
Lay your healing hands
Lay your healing hands on me
Lay your healing hands on me
On me

Feel the beauty of this deeper grace...

"Nothing is so gentle
As real strength
Nothing is so strong
As true gentleness."

The dawn surely comes...
After every darkest hour

I have climbed upon the branches of this tree
And curled up many an hour...
In the curve of the trunk...
Daydreaming and reading.
I named this tree...
The Wishing Tree
Many years ago.
I still visit the Wishing Tree
Now and then.
