          D     G               Bm G
When you find me walkin' in a dream
        D          G                 A
Like a falling leaf floating in the sea
        Bm        G
Can you hear me prayin' on my knees,
                                A
knockin' on your door? I can't take no more
        D                 A                    D
As you hold me close to where I should always be

Maybe freedom was lost and disappeared
And the winter freeze covered all my tears
But I would let nothing melt me to the bone,
eating me no more, I can't take no more
As you hold me close to where I should always be

I can breathe with all my might (I can breathe)
I can touch and feel your life (I can feel)
It's no wonder I can barely speak (I can speak)
It's no wonder I can feel (I can feel)
When you find me walkin' in a dream
Like a falling leaf floating in the sea
But can you hear me prayin' on my knees,
knockin' on your door ? I can't take no more
As you hold me close to where I should always be

Can you hear me prayin' on my knees,
knockin' on your door ? I can't take no more
As you hold me close to where I should always be
As you hold me close to where I should always be
