《Loving Hand of God》歌词

[00:00:00] Loving Hand of God - Orchid

[00:00:39] I was born into this world on the seventh day of June

[00:00:46] No sunshine broke the sky as I arrived

[00:00:53] My father was a rector with a hard and heavy hand

[00:00:59] My mother was thirteen and not his wife

[00:01:06] She gave me to the sisters on the farthest edge of town

[00:01:12] No one would be the wise or see my face

[00:01:20] I became a man raised up by cemetery wolves

[00:01:26] We earned our keep by digging beggar's graves

[00:01:33] I guess that's just the way they showed me

[00:01:38] The loving hand of God

[00:01:45] Loving hand of God

[00:01:52] When fifteen years had passed

[00:01:55] They put me out upon the stones

[00:01:59] To make my way with gypsies and with thieves

[00:02:06] A kindly hearted cropper took me on to till his land

[00:02:12] I'd work until my fingers they did bleed

[00:02:19] His daughter was a deaf and mute with kind and loving eyes

[00:02:26] The color of the bluest summer sky

[00:02:32] A love grew strong between us

[00:02:35] And I asked to take her hand

[00:02:39] But the father said he'd sooner see her die

[00:02:46] I guess that's just the way he showed me

[00:02:51] The loving hand of God

[00:02:57] Loving hand of God

[00:04:54] And in the spring we stole away to find a life anew

[00:05:00] With pennies and our bags to make our way

[00:05:07] We found work with the magistrate tending to his land

[00:05:13] And happiness was born again each day

[00:05:20] And in the fall I married her and summer brought a child

[00:05:27] In which there was no sign of me at all

[00:05:33] And when I said that son of mine did have her father's eyes

[00:05:39] She wept and said that he had come to call

[00:05:47] I guess that's just the way he showed me

[00:05:51] The loving hand of God

[00:05:58] Loving hand of God

[00:06:04] End
