Cool Hands

from Puritan by The Strong Talk

/

lyrics

And for fear of how I still get homesick sometimes,
cool hands; I adore you --
but what's a handshake gonna do for me now?

I left my home in West Virginia
for the same damn tide from a foreign coast.
It didn't seem real -- I didn't sound honest
but I've been told,
"One day you're bound to get it right."

So head for the western sun.
If you seek love, then love would do you good
but time would do better.

Cool hands; Where are you?
And where's that message at a time like this?

I left my home in West Virginia
(No worries girl, I'll get back to you soon.)
for the same damn tide, but from a foreign coast.
(And for the same sand all around the world.)
The road looked long, but I'd grown tired
of waitin' round for what I had had the whole time.
I still see it sometimes back home.

So head for the western sun.
If you seek love, then love would do you good
but time would do better.

And hey, little girl!
If you need me, you know I'll always be
flyin' your colors.
