into the breeze C We are nothing, we are something Em Let go, release, you hold the keys Dm It''s time we evaporate into the breeze Em We are nothing, we''ll be something C Welcome to the desert of my soul Em You can stay if you like, there''s room for one more Dm Em There''s room for one more ============= Shalom/Saalam ============= Capo 1 Instrumental in F Major ================== Late Night in
