Hands Of Time Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

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 

Become this song 'Hands Of Time' 

Hands of time
