Handful of Dust Lyrics

I was walking down the shore
Like we used to do before
But the cold tide Didn't hold
any answers
Cemetery late at night
Only silence from your Grave
There's nothing to learn from a stone bearing your name

And I curse The day you left me here
With my hopes, my questions and fears

All the Things you never handed down to me
So I'm stuck right here - has life
Forsaken me?
Can't move, can't breath
The only thing remains
Are the last Words that you said to me
And a handful of dust
Just a handful of dust

My own son is turning three
Bouncing gently upon me knee
Wonder if the outcome Will be the same this time
Would he curse the day I left him here
With his hopes, his questions and his fears
All the things I never handed down to him
So he's stuck down here - kneeling in the sand
Searching for me - when all that still remains
Are the last words that I said to him
And a handful of Dust ... just a handful of dust

From father to son - for what's left undone
For the blood that's boiling in my veins
From son to father - I wrote this letter
To release my soul from this burning pain
There's nothing to forgive
Nothing to retrieve
All the scars I carry will remain
So I'm stuck right here - has life forsaken me?
Can't move, can't breath
The only thing remains
Are the last words that you said to me
So I'm stuck right here - has life forsaken me?
Can't move, can't breath
The only thing remains
Are the last words that you said to me
And a handful of dust ... just a handful of dust
Handful of
Dust
