lyrics

Sheltered breaths

The sun comes up
the sun goes down,
and this whole world
keeps spinning round.

Just like the clock
upon the wall,
I guess those hands
move after all.

Like ice
when Springtime melts
Winter away
what can we say?

Like life
she is so strong,
like the river running
into the bay.

(one time, instrumental)

So now we talk
of precious things,
our fragile world
tied up by string.

We darn our socks
and polish rings,
and dust of pictures
of older things.

And cry
in sheltered breaths
so that no one will see
all our unfinished dreams.

And try
to do our best,
to forget all the things
that we left in between.
