Dusty Heart, Empty Hand

Many were the nights I stayed with you When I should've been going home Many were the days you promised me Still I ended up alone I believed the words you spoke to me Even though I saw their emptiness I thought that if I waited long enough They’d finally match your sweet caress Let the day clear our deeds As our souls forgiveness plead Put my heart in shallow ground Till the right one can be found I sailed this boat an ocean wide for you To see what you’d been looking for But there was nothing on the other side And nowhere to call home no more Let the day clear our deeds As our souls forgiveness plead Put my heart in shallow ground Till the right one can be found Let the sun dry our tears Soften grief throughout the years Here I stand on solid ground Dusty heart and empty hand Many were the nights I blamed myself Nothing I could do to make amends But there was nothing I could save you from I leave with dusty heart and empty hand Let the day clear our deeds As our souls forgiveness plead Put my heart in shallow ground Till the right one can be found Let the sun dry our tears Soften grief throughout the years Here I stand on solid ground Dusty heart and empty hand
