Breathless
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This dance that we do leaves me breathless
Reeling on the edge of falling down
A lodestone pull that leaves me breathless
Through many lifetimes handed down
And you touch hands
And you taste breath
And you know
You try to walk in step and stumble laughing
You hold each other up to stop the fall
You hold each others eyes like a magnet
And for a moment time just seems to stall
And you touch hands
And you taste breath
And you watch each other
A bell once struck will ring forever
It just gets louder the closer it is held
Love is a bell, once struck will ring forever
It just gets louder the closer it is held
The closer it is held
You lead me like a spirit through the forest
Where I alone would surely fear to go
Safely with my hand on your shoulder
Somehow it's a thing I just know
And you touch hands
And you taste breath
And you watch each other
A bell once struck will ring forever
It just gets louder the closer it is held
Love is a bell, once struck will ring forever
It just gets louder the closer it is held
The closer it is held
