Help with song lyric

Can anyone help me translate the following song lyrics into Spanish?

Lately my hands they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same

Saludos desde Marshall

Song lyric

Ultimamente mis manos no se sienten como mías.
Mis ojos se han llenado de polvo. Estoy ciego.
Te tuve en mis brazos una vez
Y te perdí igual.

Any good?

Not bad... I just marked in red the thing on punctuation... but being a song and a bit free, I'd buy your translation.

(Let's see if others are a bit more critical than me... but from my standpoint, as said, good on you!)

I mean, I could give you my version, like "y te perdí igual" "y te perdí de todas formas" or other opinions to improve it, but the basic concepts are there...
