I step out of the shadows   and into the bright day,   I cannot breathe   for the smoke and the city smells.      my head comes alive   with the humming of engines,   I cannot scream   for the dust in my throat.      I stare at the lovers   as they stand in the doorway,   I cannot dream   for the dirt on my hands.      I came to this place with   a lifetime of memories;   falling apart   like the shoes on my feet.      even now I see you fall -   even now I see you fall -   even now I see you fall -   your arms stretching out.      I remember the hot sand.   I remember the blue sky.   we sat side by side   and traded our names.      I remember the sweet air.   I remember the time when   I fell in love   only to cry in my sleep.      even now I see you fall -   even now I see you fall -   even now I see you fall -   your arms stretching out.      even now I sometimes call   even now I sometimes call   even now I sometimes call   your name in the night      in my dream   I feel you breathing   in my dream   I feel you breathe   in my dream   I feel you breathing   in my dream   I feel you breathe
