Hands

         words by Bob MacKenzie
         music by Malka Berman

You opened the door
And lit lamps with your eyes
What fire your eyes could rear
And your hands like a gardener
Planting a rose
Wandered over me, pleasing me
Rearing wild rose
And I built up my house with your mind.

When we closed the door
And we lowered the lights
In dusk our eyes would meet
And your hands like a gardener
Raising the flame
Wandered over me, making me
Wildflower tame
And you ate with the host of my mind.

Now I've closed the door
And I've shut off the lights
But still your eyes are here
And your hands like a gardener
Plucking a rose
Wandered over me, teasing me
Lighting old glows
'Though I've emptied the house of your mind.

And your hands like a gardener
Casting a seed
Wandered over me, pleasing me
Lighting the rose
But I've weeded the house of your mind.
