Pollen And Salt

You've left me with such a silent world
Where 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

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

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
Of truth being swept away
By the rhythm of the waves I 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

I would give away
The 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

Last night I dreamt you were with me
Finally I could breathe
