Oh-oh, (5)__________ your weary eyes
I promise you (6)________ (7)________ the (8)____________ comes
To darken fading summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Days (9)________ you down (10)________ like a sinking ship

They'll (13)________ you what you owe, but know (14)________ so
Rises the moon
You'll be (15)______________ by sleep
I (16)______________ you that (17)________ the (18)____________ comes
To steal (19)________ (20)________ dream you keep
Breathe, breathe, (21)______________
