about

We wrote this track a long time ago & from memory Glenn had the chorus so we went to work on a verse & bridge section.

This nearly didn't make the album however we decided @ the last minute to track it with a 'live' band. It came out way better than we expected.

lyrics

Hands Of Love. (Bidmead/ Buchanan).

Some days it feels like you’re winning when you’re really falling way behind
Maybe it feels like you’re sinning when you’re looking for (some) peace of mind
Sometimes it feels like your only friends are the voices in your head
You gotta shake off those feelings that keep on pushing you into red

And you know that you wanna shake it
But you feel you just can’t win
Gotta be a way to break it

Cause in the hands of love
There can be no doubt
And with the hands of love
You know you’re never gonna be without
Cause the hands of love
Will open every door
And with the hands of love
You’ll never want for more

Yeah you might think that you’re sinking / it’s only your state of mind
Stuck all alone with your thinking only a waste of time yeah yeah
You wanna get to that good place now where it feels so right (so right)
You need somebody to get you where you gotta be / tonight

And when you feel like you’re going nowhere
You gotta look the other way
Take a look inside yourself right now

Chorus

How will you know for sure
I just gotta see
You’re gonna need to know more
Well how is it gonna be
Just like before
No no / I’m gonna read between the lines

You know how it feels when you’re losin’
Now you wanna win
Gotta find a way back home
Show me where to begin

Chorus
