I’m breathing after a long, long time.I kneel down beside the river.I cup my hands and take a sip.Yes, I know, I know,nothing lasts forever.The breeze come, kisses my chapped up lips.Uh oh,I’ve got to go. It’s almost night.
I’m breathing after a long, long time.We play and roll in damp green grass.My feet were sore, soil’s the fix.Yes, I know, I know,these things don’t last.Look, a dandelion! Quick, make a wish.Uh oh, I’ve got to go. It’s almost past five.
I’m breathing after a long, long time.The salt stings, brings tears to my eyes.I pick up the shells, sing Sally’s song.Yes, I know, I know,this won’t last long.But I’m dreaming after a long, long time,crying tears I’ve never cried.
