First Breath

Richard Thompson · Other Songs - Richard Thompson

Let's love what's left

Last dance, first breath



New friends hard won

Old hearts shine on



The frost is cruel

And fades the sign

On that little place

That I call mine



Let's love what's left

Like new born, first breath



Old stars, new shine

Old cup, new wine



Sun rise, moon glow

Someday we'll know



Inch by inch

Word by word

The lock is sprung

That caged the bird



Let's love what's left

Last dance, first breath
