Touched by the Hand of God

Tea at 8 o’clock
I took the dog for a walk in the morning
I never really liked him
but let’s keep that between you and me
I ran into this woman at a crowded cafe’
There’s nothin’ else to say, she took my breath away
She said: -“I’m Prudence, I just came out to play
out of charm school”

How on earth could it be
I’m touched by the hand of God
Pretty hard to believe
Hey, I’m touched by the hand of God
She’s got her mind set on me
Yea, I’m blessed with the power of love
The power of love

Heaven in her smile
I took a break for a while with good reason
Drownin’ in her eyes
I was mesmerized and buried and gone
I guess my kind of talkin’ was misplaced like hell
just like the “funk” in Art Garfunkel
but hey sweet Prudence, you’re doin’ so well
out of charm school

How on earth could it be
I’m touched by the hand of God
Pretty hard to believe
Don’t you know I’m touched by the hand of God
She’s got her mind set on me
Yea, I’m blessed with the power of love
The power of love

She said she had a ‘57 Chevrolet
There’s nothin’ more to say, she took my breath away
Hey sweet Prudence, won’t you come out to play
out of charm school
