Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Lyrics for Song: Breathless
 Lyrics for Album: Abattoir Blues / The Lyre Of Orpheus [2004]
 
 
 
 23149>It's up in the morning and on the downs
 
 Little white clouds like gambolling lambs
 
 And I am breathless over you
 
 And the red-breasted robin beats his wings
 
 His throat it trembles when he sings
 
 For he is helpless before you
 
 The happy hooded bluebells bow
 
 And bend their heads all a-down
 
 Heavied by the early morning dew
 
 At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook
 
 The fishes leap up to take a look
 
 For they are breathless over you
 
 Still your hands
 
 And still your heart
 
 For still your face comes shining through
 
 And all the morning glows anew
 
 Still your mind
 
 Still your soul
 
 For still, the fare of love is true
 
 And I am breathless without you
 
 The wind circles among the trees
 
 And it bangs about the new-made leaves
 
 For it is breathless without you
 
 The fox chases the rabbit round
 
 The rabbit hides beneath the ground
 
 For he is defenceless without you
 
 The sky of daytime dies away
 
 And all the earthly things they stop to play
 
 For we are all breathless without you
 
 I listen to my juddering bones
 
 The blood in my veins and the wind in my lungs
 
 And I am breathless without you
 
 Still your hands
 
 And still your heart
 
 For still your face comes shining through
 
 And all the morning glows anew
 
 Still your soul
 
 Still your mind
 
 Still, the fire of love is true
 
 And I am breathless without you
 
 23149>
