One Last Cold Kiss Lyrics

Felix Pappalardi One Last Cold Kiss

And his faithful heart would not consider any other wife.
For three years peaceful bliss in the rushes of the pond,
Proud and gentle was the loving of the last two island swans.
Their love was like a circle, no beginning and no end,
With his lady by his side, lover and a best friend.
The pond was all so peaceful in the rising of the sun,
Young and free as the island breeze their life had just begun.
One dread day in November when the searing cold did start,
Stalked a hunter with his bow and put an arrow in her heart.
"Oh, Husband come to my side; let your feathers warm my pain,
For I feel I shall not spend another day with you again."
CH: And the cold winds blow,
He was brave but he's laid low.
By her body in the island mist,
I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss.
Now of swans the people talk of only one in this day's tide,
Though they brought him many ladies, he would take no other bride.
And they say he will not come from the spot where she did fall,
Once so proud, he's beaten now, and will not speak at all.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
