Knock the wind out of me (lyric version)

Knock the wind out of me

Is this redemption just a candy for my mind

thought you were burned from there long, long, ago

   are you still beautiful or is this misrecall.

Never is the only way you ever leave

if breath were mine it leaves in disrespair

   do you still laugh

 

Knock the wind right out of me

Somehow thought enters the mind

The concrete presses down (toward) the line

Mistaken jade to breathe

Head down, crawl through meant to be

Sew me back and set me walking

 

on my face, and love that will not loosen

chains me here, higher than I fly

only in a mad man’s mind does 4 proceed 3

 

Knock the wind right out of me

Somehow thought enters the mind

The concrete presses down (toward) the line

Mistaken jade to breathe

Head down, crawl through meant to be

Sew me back and set me walking

 

Is this coincidence divine

threw away your photograph some  time ago

   and at 24 degrees, breath falls
