Hands
The Duchess And The Duke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the day fades away into twilight
The moon is my light of love
In the night, I am quite a romancer
I find an answer above
To being me consolation, you're my inspiration
This is my imagination.

Time on my hands, you in my arms
Nothing but love in view, then you fall
Once and for all, I'll see my dreams come true
Moments to spare for someone you care for
Our love affair for two




With time on my hands and you in my arms
And love in my heart all for you.

ΧΡΗΣΤΟΣ ΑΡΓΥΡΙΟΥ

Sun comes up
I'm counting the days I've got left
I'm counting the time on my hands, watch the days roll by



When I'm gone


Who will be waiting for me to come home?

Who waits for a ghost to come in from the cold, just to haunt you?



Sometimes girl I'm already gone, I've been ready so long

In your heart there's a different man, and I just ain't that strong

I can't win

I can't lose

And everything I do is wrong

One hand clawing at the other hand, trying to hold on



Sun goes down

If I stay too long then I'll just fade away

And if you were smart you would just walk away, don't you cry



When I'm gone

I know for certain the birds will still sing

And I know the clouds will still cry like a child, on my shadow



Sometimes girl I'm already gone, I've been ready so long

In your heart there's a different man, and I just ain't that strong

I can't win

I can't lose

And everything I do is wrong

One hand clawing at the other hand, trying to hold on

1:22 nice guitars! I found out about this band from hearing "Living This Life Makes It Hard" in Orange is the New Black (Season 1 Episode 11)

Josue Garcia

I just literally finished watching that episode. My 1 year old daughter began dancing when she heard that song so I had to check them out.
