The Breath That Takes Me Home - Peggi Blu

Words: James Merchant
Music: Ted Perlman & Peggi Blu

I feel the burn, I feel the churn
But with each breath I take I yearn
To find that solemn place to be
That hides so deep inside of me

Just like a stone, I stand so still
And feel the shrill of winter's chill
And wonder if i'll ever be
At that place deep inside of me

The breath that gives a wing it's rise
The breath that puts diamonds in my eyes
Tell me lord where shall I be
When I catch that breath inside of me

Chorus: The breath that takes me home
Oh lord, where shall I be

How many winters, have to pass
Before appears the vernal grass
alive and fresh with morning dew
beneath a cloudless sky so blue

The breath that gives a wing it's rise
The breath that puts diamonds in my eyes
Tell me lord where shall I be
when I catch that breath inside of me

Chorus (2x's)

Bridge: Oh how long, do I have to wait or is this my eternal fate
Before I breathe the breath so deep where lies the love I long to reap

The breath that gives a wing it's rise
The breath that puts diamonds in eyes
Tell me lord where shall I be
when I catch that breath inside of me

The breath that takes me home
Oh lord, where shall I be
the breath that takes me home
Oh lord, where shall I be
