Reach Out and Touch Someone's Hand

You left me here with ghosts
The only holy things I know
Some untraceable line of feeling
An apparition apparently appealing
"Be gone now," I decree
It's shocking, they're obeying me
I know only a child believes in ghosts
But I'm the oldest kid I know

There's no doubt
It's time to make some new plans
So reach out
And touch someone's hand

A tangled mind retires
And truth comes raging through the briar
And I finally view with some clarity
The unseemly thing that's been killing me

I tend to underplay
I wasn't happy anyway
Just think I'd never been a bigger liar
Than when you were lying next to me

There's no doubt
It's time to make some new plans
So reach out
And touch someone's hand

Someone's hands
Are on my back and I can
Feel more love than I can stand
Until I let some blood
Until love is all I am

There's no doubt
It's time to make some new plans
So reach out
And touch someone's hand
