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
