Breathless Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

It's up in the morning it's on the downs 

And little white clouds like gamboling lambs 

And I am breathless over you 

And the red-breasted robin beats his wings 

His throat it trembles when he sings 

For he is helpless before you 

And the happy hooded bluebells bow 

And bend their heads all a-down 

Heaved by the early morning dew 

At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook 

The fishes leap up to take a look 

For they are breathless over you 

Still your hands, and still your heart 

For still your face comes shining through 

And all the morning glows a new 

Still your mind, still your soul 

For still, the fire of a love is true 

And I am breathless without you 

The wind circles among the trees 

And it bangs about the new made leaves 

For it is breathless without you 

And the fox chases the rabbit round 

And the rabbit hides beneath the ground 

For he is defenseless without you 

The sky of daytime dies away 

And all the earthly things they stop to play 

For we are all breathless without you 

I listen to my juddering bones 

The blood in my veins, the wind in my lungs 

And I am breathless without you 

Still your hands and still your heart 

For still your face comes shining through 

And all the morning glows a new 

Still your soul, still your mind 

For still, the fire of a love is true 

And I am breathless without you
