Questions at Hand
Shadow Gallery Lyrics

Asked if I had ever known your name
Someone asked me if I had ever known your name before

I replied it sometimes slips away
I replied that sometimes the memory of your name slips away from my mind

Answers now like sand shall fill my hands
The answers to my questions now are like sand that slip through my hands

Slipping through my fingers to the floor
The answers keep slipping through my fingers and falling to the ground

And blown away
The answers are then blown away by the wind and lost forever

Somewhere out beyond our reach
The answers to our questions are located somewhere that we cannot reach

Lie the answers to the questions at hand
The answers to the questions that we are asking can be found there

Time survives and all that's left is dust
Time keeps moving on, and everything eventually turns to dust

We respond to music of the earth
We are affected by the natural rhythms and undertones of the earth

Our hands touch and to its tune we dance
When our hands touch, we move together to the rhythm of the earth

Is our kiss just sand thrown to the wind
Is our affection just temporary and scattered like sand in the wind

Where does it go!
Where does our affection go and how can it be preserved?

I, I could never find solace in another eye
I could never truly find comfort in someone else's gaze

And then you came into my life
But then you came into my life and changed everything

Oh I, I've come out from the cold alone I walk a broken road
I have come out of the cold and am walking down a difficult and broken path by myself

Through wind I heard you calling
But through all of that, I could hear you calling to me in the distance

Now my eyes can cut a path into your light
Now I can finally see your light and follow it towards something brighter
