Oh i wish i could be
Touched by the hem of his garment
To be proud has never been
So mean, so stern, so cruel
Oh i wish i could be
Touched by the hem of his garment
Oh, i’ve come a long way
To touch the hem of his garment
And anger should be
The tool of a clown or a fool, you see
And why should such spite and such pain
Hang between you and me
When love should be
A queen on her throne
Looking after her own
I wish i could be
Touched by the hem of his garment
Two chairs at this table
One bed in this house
Seriously, i think we could be,
Touched by the hem of his garment
Oh, i’ve come a long way
To touch the hem of his garment
