I have no hands, but I hold fast, No arms, yet I can hold, I’m useless when loose, But trusted when tight. What am I?

I rise to look, then sink between I help you see without being seen

Stand alone, Country road, Upward hand, Another load, Lower hand, Load retrieved, Again tomorrow, More received

You can use me in a game, but safety comes first. I can also be second while frog comes third; again, safety is important.

under the covers i'll spin a yarn stories of lovers, queens, beggars, and brawn you'll turn with my twists til your eyes beg for sleep but your ears will be useless; i don't make a peep.
