Utah Phillips - Touch Me lyrics

Touch me when I'm reading Touch me when I'm working When I'm not looking Surprise me with your hand And lightly, without thinking, touch me Sometimes when I'm turning Brush me with your fingertips Know me with your tenderness Not always, but now and then And lightly, without thinking, touch me I've never asked with words before I've said it all in reaching I've told you with my holding But now my arms are aching So lightly, without thinking, touch me Touch me through the darkness And all my secret places Lift me from my sleeping Recall me from my dreaming And lightly, without thinking, touch me
