Just One Breath Away - The Wallflowers

Home

You wanna be Beneath the summer sky on summer’s eve

Before too soon the day will come

Before too long you’ll walk in the sun

Where the olive branches bend like fingertips

And pollen fills the air and bluevine honey drips

Just one breath away from being home

Deep in the avalanche of hope and disbelief

Even your good friends may surprise you when they leave

There are no leaders that could navigate these walls

No amount of sugar can satisfy it all

But you can trust them all but be sure you cut the cards

Stay wide awake and snake across the boulevard

Just one breath away from being

Home

You wanna be Beneath the southern sky on summer’s eve

Looking through these graves of wasted love

Washed on these river banks, spit out from the flood

It could feel like more than one thousand needle tips, all pointed up Your punishment demands you stitch all your own cuts

Just one breath away from being home

Fear no gallows

Fear no axe

Fear no names

'Cause they don’t make statues

For their kinds anyway

Take a photograph as every moment comes

Soon all these memories will be compressed to one

Just one breath away from being home

You wanna be Beneath the southern sky on summer’s eve

For too soon the day will come

Before too long you’ll walk in the sun
