Christy Moore - Last Cold Kiss lyrics

Two island swans mated for life
And his faithful heart would not
Consider any other wife
For three years peaceful joy midst
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
A treasure and best friend
And the pond was all so peaceful
With the rising of the sun
Young and free like the island breeze
Their life was just begun

'Til a dread day in November when
The searing cold did start
Stalked the hunter with his bow
He put an arrow through her heart
Husband come to my side let
Your feathers warm my pain
For I feel I will not spend
Another day with you again
And the cold winds blow
He was brave but he's laid low
By her body in the isle of mist
I saw him give her one last cold kiss
One last cold kiss

Of swans the people talk of only
One in this days tide
They brought him twenty ladies he
Would take no other bride
They say he will not move from
The place where she did fall
Once so proud he's beaten now
He will not speak at all

And the cold winds blow
He was brave but he's laid low
By her body in the isle of mist
I saw him give her one last cold kiss
One last cold kiss
