Handful of Sand - Peer Günt

I woke up this morning

Lying under my bed

With hell’s bells in my ears

A runaway truck in my head

I tried to get off the floor

But my feet wouldn’t carry me

I tried to open my eyes

But the light was too bright to see

Last night

I left my lovin' woman

Told her to hit the road

To find herself another man

I don’t know why it took so long

Don’t know what went wrong

I only know that she is gone

A I feel good all alone

Standing on my own two feet

Taking my trouble to the street

All of those years

All of those nights

They keep falling through your fingers

Like a handful of sand

Now that you’re gone baby

I can finally speak my mind

I never told you too much

Kept everything inside

All my life

I wished I had a home

But I held my secret baby

Like a dog holds a bone

All of those years

All of those nights

They keep falling through your fingers

Like a handful of sand
