You've left me with such a silent world,    The evenings are calm, but I'm restless    And my breath has become as thin as the wind.       Not even the mighty sky could fill the space you left behind    Not even when it rains.    No, nothing takes your place    Your emptiness too great to fill.    oooooh...       I have been holding my breath,    For too many nights in a row,    And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me    You paint your dreams,    With reds and blues and greens.    Yea you're painting daffodils by the sea,    Without me.    oooooh...       Today in a breeze I sensed your perfume    But you were nowhere near.    And in reverie,    I felt you holding me.    And even in my dreams I shake from the fear    That you've been swept away    By the rhythm of the waves that whisper in your ears.       I have been holding my breath,    For too many nights in a row,    And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me    You paint your dreams,    With reds and blues and greens.    Yea you're painting daffodils by the sea,    Without me.    oooooh...       I would give away    My sweetest memories,    If I could just be with you again.    Be with you again.       I have been holding my breath,    For too many nights in a row,    And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me    You paint your dreams,    With reds and blues and greens.    Yea you're painting daffodils growing by the sea,    Without me.    oooooh...       Last night I dreamt you were with me,    Finally I could breathe.
