if i had a world to give and if i have a life to live would you come to me would you come to me and if i have the time in hand built up in grains of sand would you be with me would you be with me you see that everything i do still leaves me lost and alone for you if i can find some time and a place to hide i can sit right down and free my mind one breath away one breath away and i know the past is dead and gone wasted in motions carried on one breath away one breath away my dear when you took me by the hand you touched a child inside the man and i was free yes i was me but then i took a different turn and now the child begins to burn cause i m angry cause i can feel you see that everything i do still leaves me lost and alone for you if i can find some time and a place to hide i can sit right down and free my mind one breath away one breath away and i know the past is dead and gone wasted in motions carried on one breath away one breath away my dear here comes the pressure and it s coming down hard my spirit s fading but i m still gonna fight here comes the pressure and it s coming down hard my spirit s fading but i m still gonna fight if i can find some time and a place to hide i can sit right down and free my mind one breath away one breath away and i know the past is dead and gone wasted in motions carried on one breath away one breath away my dear oh yeah one breath away and that s the hardest breath to take my dear
