Slipping Through My Hands

Words and Music by Rachel Kane

Copyright © 1997 by Rachel Kane

build yourself a ladder
climb on every rung
build it in the mountains
to the splendor in the sun


time drifts in a bottle
floating on the sea
bet your money on it
send a dream to me


one step at a time
waiting in line
your guess or mine
you must know the way to go


time drifts in a bottle
catch it if you can
one way or the other
gonna wash up on the sand


need a change in the weather
in the shadow of the sun
shine a light for me
and it will come to you


one step for the tinker
one for the knave,
one for the keeper
of every wish ever made


time drifts in a bottle
catch it if you can
these are the sands of time
slipping through my hands


can't see for the darkness
deaf dumb and blind
reach into the shadows
and out the other side


time drifts in a bottle
catch it if you can
one way or the other
gonna wash up on the sand
