Days fade into a (2)______________________ blur
Memories swim and haunt you
But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke
Rises the moon

I (3)______________ you that (4)________ the (5)____________ comes
To darken fading summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Days pull you down just (6)________ a (7)______________ ship
Floating is getting harder
But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile

You'll be visited by sleep
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
To steal away each dream you keep
Breathe, breathe, breathe
