The Smithereens - Hand of Glory lyrics

Go and understand Tallow drips upon a withered hand The hidden power of an unborn arm The broken branch of a tree A finger dance in a switching yard Hand of glory Go and understand I am gonna feed the night of man The wool pattern on a shouting jar The broken branch of a tree A one-eye sent it to a distant star Hand of glory Hand of glory Go and understand Tallow drips upon a withered hand Beneath the shadow of a gallows pole I take the branch of a tree Let it lie in a pickling jar Hand of glory Hand of glory
