Closed Hands

She died long before that day I know this Tortured, grieving heart of mother no longer knew her own being And as the sun set on another You fell through dying dreams, but could not catch them And I could not catch you Hiding below my shadow Yet dancing above my fears I grip sorrow's edge As you crumble to fall at my soul's tears I have not forgotten you But sometimes I can't help feeling numb Feeling numb through and through Closed hands on open arms hold nothing Closed hands on open arms hold nothing Closed hands on open arms hold nothing Closed hands on open arms hold nothing Hold nothing, hold nothing, hold nothing, hold nothing Closed hands on open arms hold nothing
