Lyrics

Take this heart to burn, it's no use to me
Ashes to the wind, (they) float eternally
Silk chains still bind (me) like a gentle lover's touch
And the look of your face slowly fades
in the grey evening dusk

Last kiss, last passion in the night
As the earth slowly turned, we trembled in the light
Last kiss cut through me like a cold silver knife
Now you're gone from this world, to a place far away

Silence at the door, memories float upstream
Angels whisper hope, spoken in a dream
Peace falls upon me like quiet winter snow
but the truth hides it's face in the dark
trying hard to let go

Last kiss, last passion in the night
As the earth slowly turned, we trembled in the light
Last kiss cut through me like a cold silver knife
Now you're gone from this world, to a place far away

*Spirits in my room, senses misbehave
The smell of her perfume (his cologne), like flowers cut today
And there in the moonlight, a silent silouhette
The taste of her (his) kiss on my mouth
Says what words cannot say

Last kiss, last passion in the night
As the earth slowly turned, we trembled in the light
Last kiss cut through me like a cold silver knife
Now you're gone from this world, to a place far away
