A Hand Full Of Air

Written July 5, 1990

I look in your eyes and they seem so dark

Something seems gone some little spark

I reach out a hand to show you I care

But all that I grasp is a hand full of air

I have strong shoulders that can brush your tears dry

I have a strong mind to understand why

And all of these things I’m willing to share

But all that I have is hand full of air

In my dreams I feel your arms ‘round my waist

And I feel so warm, so safe in your tight embrace

And sometimes my dreams are too hard to bare

When I wake up clutching a hand full of air
