lyrics

When the last of the autumn leaves have quit their hanging on
They fall upon that cold road that I’ll soon be traveling on
If the darkness should find me
Gonna put your love behind me
I will carry the fire within my soul
Now I can’t be hanging around
On tomorrow’s wind I’m blown
So could you please kiss me once before I’m gone?

I should’ve tried but I bit my tongue and I could never say
Then I cried, ain’t it funny the time could slip away
Mistakes, well I made ‘em
Oh honey if I could change one
I would lay my desire upon your door
Now the high noon sun is sinking low
And I fear that it won’t be long
So could I please kiss you once before I’m gone?

But I will not go quietly
I will rage in the eye of the storm
As the fear builds inside of me
I will turn it to stone
I need all the strength that you can find in me
Cos I know I won’t make it alone
Oh baby, please kiss me once before I’m gone
Kiss me once before I’m gone
Kiss me once
