At the kiss of the tide Won't you lay by my side Feel it turning Instead of dwelling on our death Won't you come and share my breath Feel it burning Behind a white wood door Is a mattress on the floor Where we are lovers Tonight is the last time I get to hold you fast And fast go the hours
The river does not wait Tough we trow rocks to dime our fate The banks have been broken The banks have been broken
I watch from silent bloom The colors turning hue You are set like a fire With every letter that you write Another meter to the kite Falling higher and higher White ribbon in the moon The river tells me soon You'll be taken away Tonight is the last time I get to hold you fast Though I want you to stay
You know you cannot wait Without love and whithout hate The banks have been broken The banks have been broken
