Lyric A Handful Of Dust

The black soil plains
The line scorched and grey
The stock is lean and rough
It s another long and breathless day
And the rain wont come
And you just keep

Holding on to hope
Your spirit s bent and broke
And all that s left is pride
To work this restless land
Takes the kind of man
Who ll give it one more try
Backing your faith and trust
In a handful of dust

A drum beats slow and eerie cross the plain
The heat haze dancing in the sun
When giving in goes against the grain
So you don t give in
And you just keep

Holding on to hope
Your spirit s bent and broke
And all that s left is pride
To work this restless land
Takes the kind of man
Who ll give it one more try
Backing your faith and trust
In a handful of dust

You ve done all you can do
So how ll you see it through

You re holding on to hope
And your spirit s broke
And all that s left is pride
To work this restless land
Takes the kind of man
Who ll give it one more try

You re holding on to hope
Your spirit s bent and broke
And all that s left is pride
To work this restless land
Takes the kind of man
Who ll give it one more try
You re packing your faith and trust
In a handful of dust
Just a handful of dust
Just a handful of dust
Handful of dust
Just a handful of dust
