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
