Breaths

Lyrics for Breaths

In a snow fall I stop my working for a second In the little space between my breaths I heard a small sound down beneath the blood rushing Crouched and buried away In the basement of my life I go downstairs in the dark Cold wind in the face Incomprehension Between each breath I breathe out There's a little moment of death Everything hangs And then I draw air in again And in this constant coming back to life A flickering spark jumps sharp in my eye I scan the horizon from this spot where I stand Nothing returns I give this and the next and the next and all the following Breaths!
