 I step out of the shadows
and into the bright day,
I cannot breathe
for the smoke and the city smells.
my head comes alive
with the humming of engines,
I cannot scream
for the dust in my throat.
I stare at the lovers
as they stand in the doorway,
I cannot dream
for the dirt on my hands.
I came to this place with
a lifetime of memories;
falling apart
like the shoes on my feet.
even now I see you fall -
even now I see you fall -
even now I see you fall -
your arms stretching out.
I remember the hot sand.
I remember the blue sky.
we sat side by side
and traded our names.
I remember the sweet air.
I remember the time when
I fell in love
only to cry in my sleep.
even now I see you fall -
even now I see you fall -
even now I see you fall -
your arms stretching out.
even now I sometimes call
even now I sometimes call
even now I sometimes call
your name in the night
in my dream
I feel you breathing
in my dream
I feel you breathe
in my dream
I feel you breathing
in my dream
I feel you breathe
