Breathe Easy Lyrics

Her traveler’s books
Are gathering dust on the shelf
Will somebody else read them now?
She doesn't need telling
She's studied the lie of the land

With no slight of hand
She shuffles her memory cards
'Til one of them falls into place
She hands me her door key
As if she were playing an ace
Clubs, diamonds, and spades

Now I can breathe easy
I breathe easy
I breathe easy
Since she left me
Time waves goodbye

She sends funny letters
Peppered with lines that she stole
She'd plagiarize whole paragraphs
Of no fixed abode
RSVP don't answer back She's almost a stranger
A bird that took flight long ago
But I wait by the phone for her call
A change in the season
Precipitates no change at all
Spring, Summer, and Fall

I wish I could breathe easy
I breathe easy
I breathe easy
Since she left me
Time waves goodbye

I need somebody
To fill up my cup to the brim
I'm faltering in midstream
Show me the water
That washes my memory clean

I want to breathe easy
I breathe easy
I breathe easy
Since she left me
Time waves goodbye
Time waves goodbye
