'Handful of Rain' is about reaching for something you can't grasp fully such as a goal, a dream, or a hope. Specifically, if you were in hell--desperate, lost, and looking for a moment of hope--you'd give anything for a respite (a handful of rain). The song was inspired by a real bar in New York City, incidentally the same "Old City Bar" later visited on the first TSO disc.
