lyrics
When was it I learnt that
they will put coins on my eyes
push me on the dark lake?
was I playing with tin soldiers and little cars?
when did I know that summers end?
That I would disappear so many times….
faster than a first kiss.
faster than a first kiss.
the small, happy boy
the lonely, awkward teenager
the wild young man
would all disappear
faster than a first kiss.
The driver with no face
He can take you to the place
across the water up the hill
to where your Mother waits
Your sister and your brothers
all your long lost lovers
the little witch on Halloween
the beautiful vampire queen
Will all disappear
faster than a first kiss.
That morning by the river
the promise on the golden bridge
the lovers and the sinners
all the love you give
All the lives you lead
beginnings and the ends
the books that you read
and all the broken bread
The Sun and the moon
and the parties and the songs
the magic and the loons
all I held strong
The treasure that I kept
The air and all the blood
and everyone I love
will all disappear
faster than a first kiss
