Hands Of Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like a fool I'm reaching out, Lord
To the hands of time
For if he knew how you were drowning
He'd never toss you a line
If all we have is here and now
Honey, I won't change a thing
If all I know is how I feel
When you move your snow white hand in mine
I'll never hold the hands of time
From the moment we are born
We're in the hands of time
As drunk on life as death is sober
When we say goodbye
Though it hurts to lose a friend
May it help remembering
For every door that closes in
One'll open to the other side
Opened by the hands of time
Heaven knows
There are days when it flies on by
Heaven knows
There are days when it drags
Though it may seem to be on your side
Turn around, it's left you high and dry
And that is why…
It's a fool who reaches out
To the hands of time
If all we have is here and now
Honey, I won't change a thing
If all I know is how I feel
When you move your snow white hand in mine
I'll never hold the hands of time
Feel it hands upon the strings
As the music starts to ring
In my soul, in my dreams
For to help these melodies and rhymes
