The Wallflowers - Just One Breath Away lyrics

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 Home Home Home Home
