The Green Pajamas

JUST A BREATH AWAY

what you would give to hear her sing
on the wild wind at the edge of spring
who's ghost is living there behind your eyes

 chorus:
you're just a breath away
just one short step away
you're just a breath away from the night

desire makes for the perfect murder
she's been singing all along you just haven't heard her
down from forever on a solar wind

 (chorus)

how can the living crave the dead
what are you giving up a grave or a bed
your lover shimmers just beyond your sight

 (chorus)
