You've left me with such a silent world,
|
Where evenings are calm, but I'm restless
|
And my breath has become as thin as the wind.
|
|
Not even the mighty sky could fill the space you left behind
|
Not even when it rains.
|
No, nothing takes your place
|
Your emptiness too great to fill.
|
|
I have been holding my breath,
|
For too many nights in a row,
|
And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me
|
You paint your dreams,
|
With reds and blues and greens.
|
Yea you're painting daffodils by the sea,
|
Without me.
|
|
Today in a breeze I sensed your perfume
|
But you were nowhere near.
|
And in reverie,
|
I felt you holding me.
|
And even in my dreams I shake from the fear
|
That you've been swept away.
|
By the rhythm of the waves I whisper in your ears.
|
|
I have been holding my breath,
|
For too many nights in a row,
|
And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me
|
You paint your dreams,
|
With reds and blues and greens.
|
Yea you're painting daffodils by the sea,
|
Without me.
|
|
I would give away
|
My sweetest memories,
|
If I could just be with you again.
|
Be with you again.
|
|
I have been holding my breath,
|
For too many nights in a row,
|
And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me
|
You paint your dreams,
|
With reds and blues and greens.
|
Yea you're painting daffodils growing by the sea,
|
Without me.
|
|
Last night I dreamt you were with me,
|
Finally I could breathe.
