Human Touch

You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
But In the end what you don¹t surrender
Well the world just strips away
There ain¹t no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain¹t gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blessings my darlin¹
But I got a deal for you right here
I ain¹t lookin¹ for prayers or pity
I ain¹t comin¹ ¹round searchin¹ for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And just a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Ain¹t no mercy on the streets of this town
Ain¹t no bread from heavenly skies
Ain¹t nobody drawin¹ wine from this blood
It¹s just you and me tonight
Tell me in a world without pity
Do you think what I¹m askin¹s too much ?
I just want something to hold on to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Oh and that feeling of safety you prize
Well it comes with a hard hard price
You can¹t shut off the risk and the pain
Without losin¹ the love that remains
We¹re all riders on this train
So you been broken and you been hurt
Show me somebody who ain¹t
Yeah I know I ain¹t nobody¹s bargain
But hell a little touchup
And a litte paint...
You might need somethin¹ to hold on to
When all the answers they don¹t amount to much
Somebody that you can just talk to
And a little of that human touch
Baby in a world without pity
Do you think what I¹m askin¹s too much ?
I just want to feel you in my arms
And share a little of that human touch...
