One Last Breath

[Verse 1] He lay by the window Rain on the pane White cloth on his forehead Calling my name His hands were so tired His eyes still knew me Like he was already Half out to sea [Pre-Chorus] And I held on tighter Though time let go His chest rose once Then moved so slow [Chorus] One last breath, my friend One last breath Hold the whole wild world In yer chest One last breath, my friend Don’t fade away (Stay with me) Stay with me today [Verse 2] The nurse kept her voice low The room went still The rosary slipped To a trembling hand He looked at the ceiling Then out through me Like he saw green fields Across the sea [Pre-Chorus] And I said his name Like a prayer in stone He gave me one tear And then drifted on [Chorus] One last breath, my friend One last breath Hold the whole wild world In yer chest One last breath, my friend Don’t fade away (Stay with me) Stay with me today [Instrumental] [Bridge] If heaven has a harbor Let it open now If there’s a road home Let it lead him out I’ll carry his silence Down every lane Till the rain on the window Sings his name [Final Chorus] One last breath, my friend One last breath Hold the whole wild world In your chest One last breath, my friend Don’t fade away (Stay with me) Stay with me today One last breath, my friend One last breath Ye gave yer heart The rest of death One last breath, my friend I’m here, I stay (Stay with me) Stay with me today
