lyrics

Two loves I have are comfort and despair
Stitched together like the threads of what I wear
If removed they would unravel me; mangle and maim
Until there's nothing left but memory and air

The names I know are purity and pride
Stepping side by side
Lonely desert days chill my bones
But give me time to bide

Break away, break away

A soul inside the center of a sinful earth
For what it's worth
You had a dream in which someone knew your name
You woke up walking on air

Break away, break away

Call back the ancient Aprils of our prime
Memories like trees not yet besieged by time
When you dream, know that someone remembers your name
and wake up walking on air, walking on air,
and break away
