First time that I saw her she had white doves in her eyes

Verse:

------

Tired maid slowly drifts into the past, into the past

And finds a home where echos rest, echos rest

She softly kissed my mind, and whispered what we will do with time, do with time

Chorus:

-------

The two hands of a prayer

Together like the two hands of a prayer

Together like the two hands of a prayer

Together like the two hands of a prayer

Bridge: (play Riff A then Chorus)

Verse:

------

Another man I choose to be, choose to be

Or just the man I used to be, used to be

Another man I want to be, want to be

And this question, keeps haunting me, haunting me

Chorus:

-------

The two hands of a prayer

Together like the two hands of a prayer

Together like the two hands of a prayer

Together like the two hands of a prayer

Outro:(Play Riff A)
