"Human Touch" lyrics

You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
But in the end what you don't surrender
Well the world just strips away

There ain't no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain't gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blessings my darling
But I got a deal for you right here
I ain't looking for praise or pity
I ain't coming 'round searching 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

Ain't no mercy on the streets of this town
Ain't no bread from Heavenly skies
Ain't nobody drawing wine from this blood
It's just you and me tonight

Tell me, in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm asking's 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 can't shut off the risk and the pain
Without losing the love that remains
We're all riders on this train

So you've been broken and you've been hurt
Show me somebody who ain't
Yeah, I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But, hell, a little touch up and a little paint...
You might need something to hold on to
When all the answers, they don't 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 I'm asking's too much
I just want to feel you in my arms
And share a little of that human touch
Feel a little of that human touch
Give me a little of that human touch
