Breathless Lyrics

It's up in the morning and on the downs
Little white clouds like gambolling 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

The happy hooded bluebells bow
And bend their heads all a-down
Heavied 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, still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your mind, still your soul
For still the fare of 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

The fox chases the rabbit round
The rabbit hides beneath the ground
For he is defenceless without you
The sky of daytime dies away
And all the earthly things, they stop to play
For we're all breathless without you

I listen to my juddering bones
The blood in my veins and 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 anew

Still your mind, still your soul
Still, the fire of your love is true
And I am breathless without you
