Kathleen Edwards Human Touch Lyrics

[Verse]
You and me, we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end, what you don't surrender
Well, the world just strips away

[Verse]
There ain't no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain't gonna find no miracles here
Well, you can wait on your blessings now, darlin'
I got a deal for you right here

[Chorus]
I ain't lookin' for prayers or pity
I ain't comin' round searchin' for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch

[Verse]
Ain't no mercy on the streets of this town
Ain't no bread from heavenly skies
Ain't nobody drawin' wine from this blood
It's just you and me tonight

[Chorus]
Tell me, in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm asking for is too much?
I just want something to hold on to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch [Bridge]
That feeling of safety you prize
Well, it comes at a hard, hard price
You can't shut off the risk and the pain
Without losin' the love that remains
'Cause we're all riders on this train

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
You might need somethin' to hold on to
All the answers don't amount to much
Somebody you could just talk to
And a little of that human touch

[Chorus]
Tell me, in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm asking for is too much?
I just want to feel you in my arms
Share a little of that human touch

[Outro]
Feel a little of that human touch
Give a little of that human touch
