My Idle Hands

Life for me is lead by dreams
If I close my eyes I'll fall in love
But life itself has tattered seams
Hidden, sheltered, hand in glove.

All I need is one embrace
Your little hand to match my own
Just to see that smiling face
Even though we're not alone.

I reach out to find what isn't there
The dream is done and I'm awake
Though you're here I'm solitare
If love can't win what else is fake?

Eyes wide open, hands are empty
A lonely dock, that ship has sailed
I've lost some faith in love's marquis
Time is up and I have failed.
