The Big Hand

[Verse 1]

The big hand makes all of your favourite things

Like all your dreams go small and all your friends run away

Until your memories fail and the words don't fit

But the way the big hand smiles, you just won't care about it

[Verse 2]

The big hand makes all of your favourite things

Like all your days run out and all your hopes disappear

And your smiles just stop and your eyes go dead

And the shadows start to crawl in the back of your head

[Chorus]

But when the big hand speaks, it's like fireworks and heaven

So you listen, don't think, and wish for nothing at all

And when the big hand sings, it's like fireworks and friends

Leaving alone, I'm not leaving alone

Leaving alone, I'll never leave alone again

[Verse 3]

So when the big hand holds up all your favourite things

And with a touch like glass, starts to squeeze

You don't ask, "Why me?"

You just slip to the floor, just slip to your knees

[Chorus]

But when the big hand speaks, it's like fireworks and heaven

So you listen, don't think, and wish for nothing at all

And when the big hand sings, it's like fireworks and friends

Leaving alone, I'm not leaving alone

Leaving alone, I'll never leave alone again
