And so one morning just before dawn you came

Out of the forest towards my window with a smile in your hand

As the moist air up to your knees started swirling like smoke

I saw your lips move

Asking: Did you lose something?

I stood glued to the window



Emotions running through my vein

Now I know a word I can't explain



I think I've known you all along

Just lost your face in the crowd for awhile

I think I have been holding my breath all my life

Can I exhale and go into exile?

So ask me now and I'll run away with you



And so with the dawn you've come

Eye to eye 

With nothing in between but this fragile glass

Your lips move again

I try but I can't detect the vibrations in the air

How I've longed to inhale your breath

I've still early and I see your words getting caught

In the window slowly turning into frost



I see your hand move and I can't detain

Scraping down a word I can't explain



I think I've known you all along

Just lost your face in the crowd for awhile

I think I have been holding my breath all my life

Can I exhale and go into exile?

So ask me now and I'll run away with you



And so one morning just before dawn you've came

(Did you lose something?)

And so with the dawn you've come

(How I've longed to inhale)



I think I've known you all along

Just lost your face in the crowd for awhile

I think I have been holding my breath all my life

Can I exhale and go into exile?

So ask me now and I'll run away with you



I will

Ask me now and I'll run away with you

(Just lost your face in the crowd for awhile)

Ask me now and I'll run away with you

(Can I exhale and go into exile?)

Ask now and I'll run away with you
