Hand of God - Emma Ruth Rundle

I am a desperate love, always am needing it

I wish the Hand of God would come

And relieve me of this way

I can’t touch anyone

To touch without feeling

Somehow is always wronged

To those who receive me in this way

Come, bring your sons and let them see

Come and lay them down in front of me

I can’t do anyone right, I used to be somehow better

Some are just born to night

Some wear the scarlet letter

I wish the Hand of God

Would cover the faces and cover the traces

Of lovers lost

I wear the colors of Babylon

Into a world, dressed as the girl I know is gone

I was true, I sang violins, touched and the like

So slowly, the soft singing will leave you in time

Look through me now, see violence replaces the light

I wish the Hand of God

Would cover the faces and cover the traces

Of lovers lost

I wear the colors of Babylon

Into a world, dressed as the girl

I know is gone
