If I had a world to give
If I had a life to live
Would you come to me?
Would you come to me?
And if I had the time in hand
Spelt out in grains of sand
Would you be with me?
Would you be with me?
You see that everything I do
Still leaves me lost and alone for you
If I could find some time
And a place to hide
I could sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away
And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted emotions carry on
One breath away
One breath away, my dear
Girl, when you took me by the hand
You touched the child inside the man
And I was free
Yes I was me
But then love took a different turn
And now the child begins to burn
'Cause I'm angry
'Cause I can feel
You see that everything I do
Still leaves me lost and alone for you
And I was free
And I was free
If I could find some time
And a place to hide
I could sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away
And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted emotions carry on
One breath away
One breath away, my dear
Here comes the pressure
And it's coming down hard
My spirit is fading
But I'm still gonna fight
Here comes the pressure
And it's coming down hard
My spirit is fading
But I'm still gonna fight
If I could find some time
And a place to hide
I could sit right down and free my mind
One breath away
One breath away
And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted emotions carry on
One breath away
One breath away, my dear
One breath away
And that's the hardest breath to take, my dear
