Lyrics
Be still, my love
I will return to you
However far you feel from me
You will never be alone
I will always be waiting
And I will always be watching you
Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me
I can't let go
You're every part of me
The space between is just a dream
You will never be alone
I will always be waiting
And I'll always be watching
We are one breath apart, my love
And I'll be holding it in 'till we're together
Hear me call your name
And just speak
Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak
I feel you rushing all through me
In these walls I still hear your heartbeat
And nothing in this world can hold me back
From waking through to you
We are one breath apart, my love
And I'll be holding it in 'till we're together
Hear me call your name
Just believe and speak
Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me
Be still, my love
I will return to you
