A Hand to Hold
The thrush in the forest, the lark in the fieldSing like their lives depend on the songMy mind has been full, but my voice has been stillIn all this time since you've been gone‘Cause you and I, we shared a rocky roadYou and I shouldered a heavy loadAh, but you and I, we had something goldYou and I, we had a hand to holdThere's an empty room behind my heart's doorAnd I've tried to fill it by calling your nameBut the echoes subside and I know what's in store:Only the emptiness remains‘Cause you and I, we shared a rocky roadYou and I shouldered a heavy loadAh, but you and I, we had something goldYou and I, we had a hand to holdI went out walking, thinking of youI was filled with self-pity that we had to partSo I picked up a pebble of a pale rosy hueAnd I carried it next to my heartAnd it's strange, though I know that stone isn't youIt's a talisman that I hold dearSongtexteI clasp it tightly, and I don't feel so blueAnd somehow, it brings you near‘Cause you and I, we shared a rocky roadYou and I shouldered a heavy loadAh, but you and I, we had something goldYou and I, we had a hand to hold Aus Songtexte Mania
