Pines Without A Kiss
Without A Kiss
The night is strong medicine the night
Broken like a watch upon the floor
Opens and will not give in ‘til dawn
The first word from you and not one more
While the heart attacks the thief, the heart attacks
the night
With tender hands and lips and with tender
Words like yes and no a wish is shadowed
On the back wall where all the music’s kept
And the little time I had with you is widowed
While we dream aloud all night that we are tender
Two things are true and one will keep and
Tender will lay us all to sleep
Without a kiss, oh without a kiss
Well thehours in the day are lost the hours
Where a rich man scrapes his little treasures
Off plates all empty to begin
And wise men build their worlds with prudent measures
Just to watch them turn to dust and fade like a myth
Where one laughs loud and one softly weeps
Oh the hours will lay us all to sleep
Without a kiss, oh without a kiss
The earth it hides the raven on the earth
Mud houses and clay bodies soft and trembling
The stars like a tarp over our bed
The ones in danger and the ones in need of mending
While the raven hides the night, and those tender hours
Tie a stone around your neck and throw it in the deep
For the earth will lay us all to sleep
Without a kiss, oh without a kiss
