just out of reach of my two empty arms

Solomon Burke

Just out of reach (of my two empty arms)

A love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won t let me be
Blues that keeps on bothering me
Chains that just won t set me free
So far away from you and all your charm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

Each night in dreams I see your face
Memories and time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you re gone
Then I m so blue and all alone
So far away from you so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

SPOKEN: That lonesome feeling all the time
Knowing you could not be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Vows that we could never keep

SING: So far away from you and all your charm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms, Empty arms
