lyrics

I’M HOLDING MY BREATH

I’m holding my breath
Till I know you’re alright
And I’m staying awake
All through the night

Till I see a shooting star
Towing trailers full of love
And everything you’ll ever need

Including time to be yourself
Including time to be someone else

Chorus
I know my destiny
Is closely woven in with yours
There’s nothing left of me when you’re gone

I’m concentrating hard
And I’m going into work
‘cause I know beyond a doubt
I must finish this thing off

Im expecting only hail
But you bring me sunshine in spades
You bring me sunshine when it rains

Chorus

I hope you have a world
Of fifty years ago
With its wilderness intact
As a place where you could go

May your days last as long
As they did when you were small
As they did when you were young

Chorus

We’ll watch the moon loose weight
We’ll watch it put it on again
You’ll see the passing of the years
When you look into my face

And we’ll break the link with time
By running fast around the bed
Yes we’ll break the link with time

Or was that something that I said?
I guess its something that I said

Chorus (alt)
My only legacy
Is in the memories that you hold
You’ll find the rest of me
Will soon be…
