David Crosby - Breathless lyrics

rate me

Breathless

(David Crosby, Jan Crosby, Jeff Pevar, James Raymond, Steve DiStanislao, Andrew Ford)

[Intro. (Drums + Piano and Pizzicato Violin)]

This dance that we do leaves me breathless

Reeling on the edge of falling down

A lodestone pull that leaves me breathless

Through many lifetimes handed down

And you touch hands

And you taste breath

And you know

You try to walk in step and stumble laughing

You hold each other up to stop the fall

You hold each others eyes like a magnet

And for a moment time just seems to stall

And you touch hands

And you taste breath

And you watch each other

A bell once struck will ring forever

It just gets louder the closer it is held

Love is a bell, once struck will ring forever

It just gets louder the closer it is held

The closer it is held

You lead me like a spirit through the forest

Where I alone would surely fear to go

Safely with my hand on your shoulder

Somehow it's a thing I just know

And you touch hands

And you taste breath

And you watch each other

A bell once struck will ring forever

It just gets louder the closer it is held

Love is a bell, once struck will ring forever

It just gets louder the closer it is held

The closer it is held

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
