Breath and air lyrics Heather Nova

Breath and air

4 am, and I'm lying awake
My thoughts turn so blue in the dark
Away up north in the city
I know that you're sleeping it off
Missed the mark when I tried to reach you
Your silence was harder than stone
When the meaning gets lost in the words
We are lost and unheard and alone

And I wish that you could know my heart
It's still the same unwavered flame
The light we made will not go out
That spark forever has your name

There's a fog on the ocean today
I can't see beyond what I can hold
Maybe later I'll call you
And maybe I'll sing you this song down the phone

And I wish that you could know my heart
It's still the same unwavered flame
The light we made will not go out
That spark forever has your name
And I wish that you could meet me there
Remember what we once believed
Still need your love like breath and air
Still find you through the haze of dreams

Ooh...

And I wish that you could know my heart
It's still the same unwavered flame
That light we made will not go out
That spark forever has your name
And I wish that you could meet me there
Remember what we once believed
Still need your love like breath and air
Still find you through the haze of dreams
