Hands of Time
(Words & Music by John DeLore & Matt Kubacki)
lyrics
If my hands were the hands of time
I would write my name in the sand.
Then I’d sit by the ocean side as the tide rose
And I’d understand.
If my hands were the hands of time
I would choose the smoothest stone from the rivers of my youth.
I would learn three chords on a mandolin and I’d only write the truth
If my hands were the hands of time.
If my hands were the hands of time
I would row out in a boat and I’d cast out my line
Then I’d shield...I would shield my eyes from the sun
And I’d wave to the man on the golden sands.
If my hands were the hands of time
I would choose the smoothest stone from the rivers of my youth.
I would learn three chords on a mandolin and I’d only write the truth
If my hands were the hands of time.
If my hands were the hands of time
I would learn sign language and I’d make a dirty rhyme
Then I’d get...get you all alone
And I’d lose track of time
If my hands were the hands of time
I would choose the smoothest stone from the rivers of my youth.
I would learn three chords on a mandolin and I’d only write the truth
If my hands were the hands of time.
