Dark Hand Over My Heart

Richard Thompson

[Verse 1]
Becky loved me and I let her
Wish I could have loved her better
On the day we pulled apart
She primed a time-bomb in my heart
Now there's a shadow hiding
Now there's a horseman riding
Lover of all broken things
Standing waiting in the wings

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder why
I love and let it die
I can't give, I can't live just to hold back, hold back

[Chorus]
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart

[Verse 2]
You call me fraud and faker
You call me user, taker
You say I throw you scraps
But prove my strength by holding back
But I shine my honour brightly
Swear my allegiance nightly
But through my hands it slips
The same old demons paint their lips

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder why
I love and let it die
I can't give, I can't live just to hold back, hold back

[Chorus]
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand
There's a dark hand over my heart
