the day you took my breath 
when all we built broke inside

the day you took my breath
when all the earth fell down for me

the day you took my breath the fading breath of a candle blown

the day you took my breath when all my fragile dreams were dreamt

I cry me a river 
I cry me a lake
I cry me an ocean 
and the salt in its water are the words you said

a new street
a longing search 
the breath of time 
back to a crossroad

I've gone to blackest waters 
please don't kill me again
