Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Kiss me goodbye, pushing out before I sleep

Can't you see I try?

Swimming the same deep water as you is hard

"The shallow drowned lose less than we," you breathe

The strangest twist upon your lips

"And we shall be together

We shall be together"

[Verse 2]

"Kiss me goodbye, bow your head, and join with me"

And face pushed deep, reflections meet

The strangest twist upon your lips

And disappear, the ripples clear

And laughing, break against your feet

And laughing, break the mirror sweet

"So we shall be together

So we shall be together"

[Verse 3]

"Kiss me goodbye," pushing out before I sleep

It's lower now, and slower now

The strangest twist upon your lips

But I don't see, and I don't feel

But tightly hold up silently

My hands, before my fading eyes

And in my eyes your smile

The very last thing before I go

The very last thing before I go

The very last thing before I go

[Chorus]

I will kiss you, I will kiss you

I will kiss you forever on nights like this

I will kiss you, I will kiss you

And we shall be together
