Lyrics
Words by Jack Evans.
Hold Time
If you could balance time
On the tip of your finger
It would be like glass
Catching the light of yesterday
Fooling you into thinking its tomorrow
If you could hold time in the palm of your hand
It would puddle like water
Sleek, silver hours would leap up out of the waves
Splash down in another hemisphere
If you could hold time tightly
Between thumb and finger
It would shine for you
Like a coin
Like a sun
Like a hundred things you give more value to than now
Flip it high into the air
If it comes down heads
Proceed to your next breath
If it comes down tails
Give yourself a goodnight kiss
And sing yourself to sleep
Hold Time
If you could balance time
On the tip of your finger
It would be like glass
Catching the light of yesterday
Fooling you into thinking its tomorrow
If you could hold time in the palm of your hand
It would puddle like water
Sleek, silver hours would leap up out of the waves
Splash down in another hemisphere
If you could hold time tightly
Between thumb and finger
It would shine for you
Like a coin
Like a sun
Like a hundred things you give more value to than now
Flip it high into the air
If it comes down heads
Proceed to your next breath
If it comes down tails
Give yourself a goodnight kiss
And sing yourself to sleep

Very nice, relaxing music and beautiful poetry. The music creates a flowing mood for the notion of time being held and balanced - with a bit of a tick-tock in the background, or the sound of a river. Very well done.
