the day you took my breath

when all we built broke inside



the day you took my breath

when all the earth fell down for me



the day you took my breath

the fading breath of a candle blown



the day you took my breath

when all my fragile dreams were dreamt



I cry me a river

I cry me a lake

I cry me an ocean

and the salt in its water are the words you said



a new street

a longing search

the breath of time

back to a crossroad



I've gone to blackest waters

please don't kill me again
