about

Words and music by Andrew Dutney
Written in Sydney, 1986

lyrics

Just breathing
No reason
Just breathing hard
Saw Steven
His dreaming
Is over at last
Don't worry
It happens
They say that three out of five fall apart
He's leaving
She's screaming
And I'm breathing hard

The houses
They build them
To make a place for two live to cave in
Go nearer
Just listen
The sound of shattering hopes and dreams
The children
They hear it
They're learning love can tear you apart
Me frightened?
Not likely
Just breathing hard

Come hold me
I need to
Touch you to prove to myself that you're real
It's silly
Indulge me
Help me to handle this panic I feel
Some suffer
Some mutter
Some turn away from their love and laugh
But with practise
With patience
We'll keep breathing
