I wake up in a cold sweat,
I wake up in a nightmare delirium,
As if our house were flooded,
And that you and I are the only ones left alive
And miles of water above us
And whales beating their tails above us,
And there's not enough oxygen for both of us,
I lie there in the dark.
Listening to our breathing,
I'm listening to our breathing,
I never thought we'd have
You and I have only one breath,
Breathing.
I'm trying to learn to breathe,
To give you at least for a moment
The gas that we didn't know how to appreciate,
But you're asleep and you don't know
That above us...
