Pollen And Salt - Daphne Loves Derby

You’ve left me with such a silent world

Where evenings are calm, but I’m restless

And my breath has become as thin as the wind

Not even the mighty sky could fill the space you left behind

Not even when it rains

No, nothing takes your place

Your emptiness too great to fill

I have been holding my breath

For too many nights in a row

And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me

You paint your dreams

With reds and blues and greens

Yea you’re painting daffodils by the sea

Without me

Today in a breeze I sensed your perfume

But you were nowhere near

And in reverie

I felt you holding me

And even in my dreams I shake from the fear

Of truth being swept away

By the rhythm of the waves I whisper in your ears

I have been holding my breath

For too many nights in a row

And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me

You paint your dreams

With reds and blues and greens

Yea you’re painting daffodils by the sea

Without me

I would give away

The sweetest memories

If I could just be with you again

Be with you again

I have been holding my breath

For too many nights in a row

And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me

You paint your dreams

With reds and blues and greens

Yea you’re painting daffodils growing by the sea

Without me

Last night I dreamt you were with me

Finally I could breathe
