Procol Harum Lyrics

Album: Prodigal Stranger

The hand that rocks the cradle Lyrics

(G.Brooker / K.Reid / C.Thompson) 

When you're out in the dark 

nothing to believe in 

And you can't find a way back home 

There's a man with a secret 

There's a visionary sister 

Who knows what's right or wrong?

Little by little I turn to the light 

And one day I'll be satisfied 

Like the hand that rocks the cradle 

I gotta be gentle and strong 

The hand that rocks the cradle 

Gonna be the lucky one 

When the wind blows cold 

And you lose your resistance 

Slipping down on the darkest side 

You can push too hard 

You can run too fast 

Don't get lost in the looking glass 

Little by little the wheel turns around 

And one day I'll be satisfied 

Like the hand that rocks the cradle 

I gotta be gentle and strong 

The hand that rocks the cradle 

Gonna be the lucky one
