| Song | Hand of Kindness |
| Artist | Richard Thompson |
| Album | Watching the Dark |
| 作词 : Thompson | |
| Well I wove the rope and I picked the spot | |
| Well I struck out my neck and I tightened the knot | |
| O stranger, stranger, I'm near out of time | |
| You stretch out your hand, I stretched out mine | |
| O maybe just the hand of kindness | |
| Maybe just the hand of kindness | |
| Maybe just a hand, stranger will you reach me in time | |
| In time | |
| Well I scuppered the ship and I bent the rail | |
| Well, I cut the brakes and I ripped the sail | |
| And they called me a Jonah, it's a sin I survived | |
| Well, you stretched out your hand, I stretched out mine | |
| Maybe just the handof kindness | |
| Well, maybe just the hand of kindness | |
| O maybe just a hand, stranger will you reach me in time | |
| In time | |
| O shoot that old horse and break in the new | |
| O the hung are many and the living are few | |
| I see your intention, here's my neck on the line | |
| You stretch out your hand I stretched out mine | |
| Well, maybe just the hand of kindness | |
| O maybe just the hand of kindness | |
| Well, maybe just a hand, stranger will you reach me in time | |
| In time | |
| O maybe just the hand of kindness | |
| Well, maybe just the hand of kindness | |
| Well, maybe just a hand, stranger will you reach me in time | |
| In time |
