Lyrics
Breathe You In
The air's still heavy with your quiet voice
It's lingering in all it's softness
Just sitting in this chair
There's nothing I want to do
But breathe you in
We walked the half-grown fields in early June
Our words as tender as the twilight
I reached out trembling
You whispered and asked me then
To breathe you in
And I felt you rush through me
My emptiness faded away
Let me breathe you in
You left me with a kiss--it's not enough
You left me wanting for tomorrow
A part of me is gone
And I can hardly wait
To breathe you in
I'll breathe you in
