Ian Anderson - Hand Of Thumbs video free download

Yet another track off of Rupi's Dance in 2003.

Lyrics - My hand of thumbs is shaking

I am so glad to meet you

All tongue-tied and twisted

My lips stuck like glue

More than a lifetime to say, How are you?

More than an ocean to cross becalmed.

Less than a second to sink in silence.

Yours truly, I remain disarmed.

Saw you peeping from the corner.

Your eyes seemed to call hello.

Im all too easily mistaken,

My feet unsteady as they go.

Was I a suave and confident trickster

I would sweep you up and carry you down

To raspberry meadows under diamond skies

and just mess around. Just mess around.

Ian's Footnotes - An imagined meeting with seductive stranger, glimpsed across yet another crowded room. Must try to practice these social skills. Must try to do better. Must try to be more confident.

Funny old business, fear of humiliating failure
