Days (6)________ into a (7)______________________ blur
Memories swim and (8)__________ you
But look (9)________ the lake, shimmering like smoke
Rises the moon
Oh-oh, close your (10)__________ eyes
I (11)______________ you (12)________ soon the (13)____________ comes
To darken fading summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Days pull you down (14)________ like a sinking ship
Floating is (15)______________ harder
But (16)__________ the water, child, and know that meanwhile
Rises the moon
Days (17)________ you up just like a daffodil

They'll tell you what you owe, but know (19)________ so
Rises the moon
You'll be (20)______________ by sleep
I promise you that soon the (21)____________ comes
To (22)__________ (23)________ each dream you keep
Breathe, breathe, breathe
