Click Of My Fingers - Clavish

I reached out my arms and I touched you With soft words I whispered your name I held your love on the tips of my fingers But that was as close as I came. My eyes had a vision of sweet lips Yielding beneath my command I held you right on the tips of my fingers But I let you slip right thru my hands. Yes, I let you slip right thru my hands. Somebody took you when I wasn't looking I should have known from the start It's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers To the love hidden deep in your heart. To the love hidden deep in your heart. Somebody took you when I wasn't looking I should have known from the start It's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers To the love hidden deep in your heart. To the love hidden deep in your heart. I held your love on the tips of my fingers But I let you slip right thru my hands. Yes, I let you slip right thru my hands. I held your love on the tips of my fingers...

Surviving so cleanly My life's got no meaning When I'm just appealing For all the gems of your mind, yeah The world keeps on turning But I cast no shadow Sucked in so sweetly On something divine Alone in the dark Got stonewalled in silence When the wolves they come barking And the stars they don't guide me home Why'd you run away, my friend When you got all you wanted? With your car flashing silver And your teeth laced in diamonds and sulfur and jewels I could break down all these walls ripping energy Push aside the fear, don't waste it on the wonder Feel the rush, I hold the world and you're holding me We're coming home again I could wake up in the ward dripping epipens Cast away the distant sea and watch me bomb it We can make it with love and again and again And again and again and again This world isn't safe Believe me 'cause I I'm back from the dead So leave me in bed And say that I didn't care When I'm gone then I'm gone I'm back from the dead I'll kill you And I'll open up the black hole in my chest I'll give you the world How dark does the rabbit hole go? But will you follow me? But will you follow me? And will you follow me? Love ain't looking over your shoulder I could break down all these walls ripping energy Now push aside the fear, don't waste it on the wonder Feel the rush, I hold the world and you're holding me We're coming home again I could wake up in the ward dripping epipens Cast away the distant sea and watch me bomb it We can make it with love and again and again And again and again and again I pull the trigger on my darkness a world within A shot of liquor, telecaster, it's under my skin I wanna pull this place apart but the taxi's here So wish me well upon a star 'cause I'm caving in (That's what you get, get, get, get, get)

School bag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm losing her forever While never really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table Barely awake, I let precious time go by Then, when she's gone, there's that old melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to our wonderful adventures? The places I had planned for us to go? Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't And why, I just don't know Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers School bag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

Can you imagine that An itch too sensitive to scratch The light that falls through the cracks An insect too delicate to catch I hear the endless murmur Every blade of grass that shivers in the breeze And the sound that comes to carry me Across the land and over the sea And I can't look up Fingers of love move down And I can't look back Fingers of love move down Colour is its own reward Colour is its own reward The chiming of a perfect chord Let's go jumping overboard Into waves of joy and clarity Your hands come out to rescue me And I'm playing in the shallow water Laughing while the mad dog sleeps And I can't look up Fingers of love move down And I won't be hit Fingers of love move everywhere There is time yet Fall by the way From the cradle to the grave From a palace to the gutter Beneath the dying waves of the sun Lie fingers of love Through waves of joy and clarity A fallen angel walked on the sea And I'm playing in the shallow water Laughing while the mad dog sleeps And I can't look up Fingers of love move down And I won't be hit Fingers of love move everywhere And there is time yet For you to find me And all I want Fingers of love move down
