The Wind Lulls My Breath

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] Window flung wide to catch the morning light A white curtain waves like a flag with no wind to sleep it [Verse 1] Lungs open like a sail at early dawn Breathe in the scent of earth just watered by night Breathe out every weight that gathered into thin smoke Dissolving slowly on the quiet mossy tiles [Pre-Chorus] Don't count the minutes, don't rush for anything Just let this chest grow light and easy [Chorus] breathe with the wind Inhale deep as it brushes past the shoulder breathe with the wind Exhale soft as if it wanted no one to know [Verse 2] A strand of hair drifts, pointing where it flows The golden shuttle on the porch is weaving sunlight No need to clutch anything inside the heart Let the wind carry off the invisible fear [Chorus] breathe with the wind Inhale deep as it brushes past the shoulder breathe with the wind Exhale soft as if it wanted no one to know [Bridge] There are days we stiffen ourselves into stone Then the wind comes and reminds the bones to soften Breathing isn't fleeing, and it isn't fighting [Chorus] breathe with the wind Inhale deep as it brushes past the shoulder breathe with the wind Exhale soft as if it wanted no one to know [Outro] The window stays open, the wind still passes We rise as light as if never tired [Fade Out] [End]
