Just As Every Kiss Must End

Just As Every Kiss Must End


It is no wonder
That I’m left here under
The lost Tear’s Moon
It’s all happening too soon

It is no mistake
That the earth quakes
And over the blackened hill
The moon rises still

I have a wish for you
But I’m afraid it won’t come true
It always ends like this
Why did I think I wouldn’t miss?

Tonight is just a night
Beautiful but not quite
What I would ask for
I’ve never been really sure

When I have it’s been just me
And I’ve lost you as far as I can see
I must be just a fool
I dive into a blown-glass pool

I hoped you’d prove me wrong
But in truth I knew all along
It is our tragedy that leads us here
To these fleeting moments that are so dear

I have a wish for you
But I’m afraid it won’t come true
It always ends like this
Why did I think I wouldn’t miss?

And still I gaze out
Beyond the fading, past all that doubt
To my truth where I should stay
Where I want more than I can say

But I really have no sorrow
For this night with no tomorrow
Because even your fleeting ways
Keep this longing world ablaze.

I have a wish for you
But I’m afraid it won’t come true
It always ends like this
It ends just like an adoring kiss
