Mark Knopfler
Two Pairs Of Hands
[Verse 1]
We got the roller coaster piling along
The power and the glory with the song
Holy moly, where did the time go?
I told you, baby, now you know
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm keeping the balls in the air
When I'm up here on the band
There'll be a little bit here and there
Still be trying to understand
[Chorus]
But they'll all be in the air
When I'm up here on the band
What it is, I'm juggling here
I've only got two pairs of hands
[Verse 2]
There's a pin-drop, they follow a thread
And a lonе voice cries out overhеad
When the thunder bursts in the velvet night
There's joy and wonder and delight
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm keeping the balls in the air
Tryna keep up with the band
There'll be a little bit here and there
I might get covered by the drifting sand
[Chorus]
But they'll all be in the air
When I'm up here on the band
What it is, I'm juggling here
I've only got two pairs of hands
[Verse 3]
They're back in the streets and into the bars
The trams and the trains and back in their cars
Holy moly, where did the time go?
I told you, baby, now you know
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm keeping the balls in the air
Tryna keep up with the band
There'll be a little bit here and there
Might get covered by the drifting sand
[Chorus]
But they'll all be in the air
When I'm up here on the band
What it is, I'm juggling here
I've only got two pairs of hands
