I woke up with a weakness
And she held me when she needed
But with arms like gusts of wind
Although forceful, they're still fleeting
I might as well be deaf
If it's just air that is passing off your lips
But if there's meaning to your breath
Then we're not dead, just sleeping
And if we awaken
Then when we're aged
And in the one we've become
Then when my air stills
And I am taken
You'll be the last one I love
Forethought floats off from my head
Like smoke from a burning building
Into the wind you can't collect
It needn't go far to be gone
Oh, to keep me in your head
And to be a thought amongst the rest of yours
And hold your memory out of bed
For she's too content to dream it
But if we wake her
Then when we're aged
And in the one we've become
Then when my air stills
And I am taken
You'll be the last one I love
May I be never able to say my love for you is cold
May a wind reaching out of you say that sleep has all control
But if we awaken
Then when we're aged
And in the one we've become
Then when my air stills
And I am taken
You'll be the last one I love
