Breathless

I'm a southern man and I love this land

From the mountain tops to the sea

From tussock land to pastures green

So beautiful, so beautiful

But the tears can roll, out of control

And I don't know how, and I don't know why

I don't know how, and I don't know why ei/ei—ei—ei—ei, why ei/ei—ei—ei—ei

I'm a southern man and I love this land

From the fiords to the beech forests

From mountain streams to sparkling rivers

So beautiful

But I'm a southern man and don't wanna cry, don't wanna cry, don't wanna cry/ei—ei—ei—ei—ei

But my tears still roll, out of control and I don't know why

The ice is melting

The oceans rising

Leave us alone, leave us alone

The land despairing, the mountains glaring leave us alone, leave us alone

Bleeding waters the air on its knees, breathless, breathless

Living in denial, destroying, suppressing

Playing the blame game

It's not me it's you

It's not us it's them

Innocence be damned, powerless be damned

Our home is falling apart

Broken, broken, broken hearted

So my tears roll, out of control

Now, I do know how, and I do know why, I do know how, and I do know why ei/ei—ei—ei—ei, why ei/ei—ei—ei—ei, ei—ei—ei—ei x2 (fading)
