I felt my life with both my hands To see if it was there I held my spirit to the Glass, To prove it possibler
I turned my Being round and round And paused at every pound To ask the Owner's name For doubt, that I should know the Sound To ask the Owner's name For doubt, that I should know the Sound
I judged my features, jarred my hair I pushed my dimples by, and waited, if they twinkled back Conviction might, of me [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/carla_bruni/i_felt_my_life_with_both_my_hands.html ] I turned my Being round and round And paused at every pound To ask the Owner's name For doubt, that I should know the Sound To ask the Owner's name For doubt, that I should know the Sound
I told myself, "Take Courage, Friend, That was a former time But we might learn to like the Heaven, As well as our Old Home!"
I turned my Being round and round and round And paused at every pound To ask the Owner's name For doubt, that I should know the Sound To ask the Owner's name For doubt, that I should know the Sound
I felt my life with both my hands To see if it was there

Emily Dickinson - I felt my life with both my hands
I felt my life with both my hands To see if it was there -- I held my spirit to the Glass, To prove it possibler --
I turned my Being round and round And paused at every pound To ask the Owner's name -- For doubt, that I should know the Sound --
I judged my features -- jarred my hair -- I pushed my dimples by, and waited -- If they -- twinkled back -- Conviction might, of me --
I told myself, "Take Courage, Friend -- That -- was a former time -- But we might learn to like the Heaven, As well as our Old Home!"
