Every Breath
by Dire Straits
It seems like this is nothing new
And that it hasn't been for a while
You wake up on the other side
And you strain to force a smile.
And that it hasn't been for a while
You wake up on the other side
And you strain to force a smile.
The fairytale inside your head
Has become your new best friend
But I can assure you
That I'll be there before the story ends.
Has become your new best friend
But I can assure you
That I'll be there before the story ends.
'Cause when I needed a place to hang my heart
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see.
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see.
I'm racing to the finish line
Of a lifetime that's barely started
The peace of mind I left behind
I pray you'll keep in your perfect garden.
Of a lifetime that's barely started
The peace of mind I left behind
I pray you'll keep in your perfect garden.
You're waiting on a minute hand
In a countdown that lasts for days
But I'm here to tell you
It won't be long before I'm here to stay.

You'll be the only light I see.
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see.
The weightlessness
And the lack of rest
Away from you
I'm in over my head.
And the lack of rest
Away from you
I'm in over my head.
Even when it's dark before the dawn
I will feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see.
I will feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see.
When I needed a place to hang my heart
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see.
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see.
Even when it's dark before the dawn
I will feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see
The only light I see...
I will feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see
The only light I see...
