A friend I had once told me

Such an unusual story

Of a man who did breathe in

But never did breathe out

This tale reminds me of you

Though a different shade of blue

You cannot always take and never give

This is not how to live

You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta spread a little love all around

Though I don't know this for sure

Just another knock at my door

A sprinkling of an inkling

Underneath an apple tree

I'll tell you when I find out

And show you what it is to breathe out

A natural progression lesson

Messing up your mind

You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta spread a little love all around

You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta spread a little love all around

I feel in you another way to be

Yeah yeah yeah

I watch as you breathe over me

Yeah yeah yeah I'm breathing

Like a tale on Jackanory

The end to this unusual story

Is a breath upon a window pane so come on

Step out of the rain yeah yeah

Thought I'd like to think this were true

You've become a deeper shade of blue

In my eyes this comes as no surprise

You've nothing left to give no

You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta spread a little love all around

You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta spread a little love all around

Breathe in and out

Spread a little love

You gotta breathe in and out

You gotta breathe in and out breathe in and out

You gotta breathe
