Roddy Frame - Your Smile Stops the Hands of Time lyrics

The skeletal limbs of the trees, daring the girls to compete All eyebrows and elbows and knees, knocking the guys off their feet You say you'll never belong, let the stars shine and prove you wrong Sadness will string you along Your smile could stop the hands of time Darkness broke like a wave and left all your feelings afloat You drowned in the sounds as they played, carried away on the notes Now the music is making you yawn, Just there on the air to hang your feelings upon But the world's singing your song Come on, let's stop the hands of time The heavens above encircle you, straining to catch a glimpse Of what happens when love slips out of view Instead of just crashing in Feeling so out of place on this planet that's whirling through space Wipe that frown from your face Your smile has stopped the hands of time
