			He also told ''Melody Maker'', "In 'Heaven Of Your Hands', I’m singing about listening to the radio at 4am, and there’s that one famous song that goes, 'I’ve grown accustomed to your face'. That’s what that really is all about, and the woman has a silvery voice. She sings it so deadpan, it’s so cool. It’s horrifying. It’s like, love will never be here, it’s that film noir thing, life is an empty hotel room. I just like that stuff, gives me a kick."<ref>{{cite web \| url=http://americanmusicclub.com/index.php?title=Articles:Melody_Maker_-_December_2,_1989 \| work=Melody Maker \| date=December 2, 1989 \| author= \| title=Mark Eitzel \| accessdate=March 27, 2018}}</ref>

==Lyrics==
There once was a woman with a silver voice 
Said she was accustomed to my face 
But I could tell she'd never love anyone 
And wanted to run away because I could tell 
That she really understands

There was so much that I had to offer 
But now I'm all alone at four am 
And all I got is the midnight shivers 
So I turn the dial and think 
Maybe I'll find myself a friend 
Who say they understand 
Why I waste all my time so far away 
From the heaven of your hands

And anyone can give you an answer 
'Cause nothing in this life seems real 
But I'm nothing without the touch I just don't feel

Mother don't you hear your baby crying 
Why don't you reach down and pick it up 
Mother all your baby's toys are broken 
And I know heaven's not for me 
That's something I understand 
I don't know how to live 
Without the heaven of your hands

There's a heaven in your hands
