Ian Anderson - A Hand of Thumbs [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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
I'm 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
