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 throw rocks to dam our fate
The banks have been broken
The banks have been broken

I watch from silent bloom
The colours turning hue
You are set like a fire

With every letter that you write
Another meter to the kite
Flying 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 without hate
The banks have been broken
The banks have been broken
