fistful of sand

every morning i wake up and you are home

but in your eyes i see that i'm alone

you've left me with your body in my arms

but i can't feel you anymore - you are gone

i can touch your skin but you aren't there

frustration burns in me

it's more than i can bear

i wanna take you in my fists and squeeze the life back into you

but there is nothing i can do - you are gone

and i can hold you in my hands

but you are gone

you are gone

you are gone

you've slipped away like a fistful of sand

you are gone

you are gone

you are gone

i am staring straight into your eyes

you never turn away or tell me lies

but you are with some other man while i am lying next to you

and there is nothing i can do

you are gone
