Editor's note: Many lyrics sites have this line as "Take my hand, come under cover", whereas others have "...as the sun descends." Those two phrases sound completely different, yet when you listen to the recording, it's not completely understandable, yet Natalie Merchant sounds like she's saying something about the sun.

Both are correct, at different places in the song. The "in your hands" line appears the first time around; the "under your command" line the second time. However, when 10,000 Maniacs covered this song, they used "under your command" both times.
