One Last Cold Kiss

Two island swans

They mated for life

And his faithful heart

Would not consider any other wife

With three years of peaceful joy

With the rushes of the pond

Proud and gentle was the love

Of the last two island swans.

There love was like a circle

With no beginning and no end

With his lady by his side

A treasure and best friend

And the pond was oh so peaceful

And the rising of the sun

Young and free as theisland breeze

Their lives had just begun

Till a dark day in

November With the seering cold that starts

Stalked the hunter with his bow

And put an arrow through her heart (Chorus)

And the cold wind blow

He was brave but he lay low

By her body in the isle of mist

I saw her give him one last cold kiss

One last cold kiss

Now swans like people

Talk of only one in this fair side

Though they brought him 20 ladies

He would take no other bride

And they say he will not move

From the place where she did fall

Once so proud he's beaten now

And he will not rise at all (Chorus)
