Back in the early to mid -eighties, there was a song played mainly on college radio. I don't know the name of the song or who does it, but it has been in my head for over twenty years and I'd love to find it. There's a man singing in the chorus and he says "space...it's what we need...room to breathe" then he speaks in the verses, but I can only remember that he says "when we're tired...when we come home" It's kind of slow. Again, this song has been haunting me and if anyone can tell me what it is and who does it, I will be extremely greatful...and utterly impressed!!!!

Good one, and I am a child of the eighties. Sorry, no bells ringing.

Okay college radio, going out on a limb, but Im going to guess that it might have been a Laurie Anderson song.
Just because of the lyric you have and some of the speak verse.etc.
Yes I know you said it was a man speaking but she was very artsy.
If you have any more info as tempo etc. let me know.

Artist: Daryl Hall & John Oates
Title: Room To Breathe
Hits: 34
Correct Lyrics
All you want is the shadow behind me
Don't you know that it's nowhere to stand
What if i didn't call you tomorrow
Maybe you'd fall apart after that
You keep it so tight l can't stand it
There's no room for love when it's ended
So give me room to breathe
The choice to stay or leave
I don't know what you need
So give me room to breathe
If you keep in your mind there's no future
Lt makes ¡®now' so much lighter to bear
If you deal with it ever so loosely
You just might shake it, it might clear the air
You keep it so tight i can't stand it
There's no room for love when it's ended

Not sure but sounds like maybe Leonard Cohen. His music is still popular with some I personally love it
