One Last Cold Kiss Lyrics - Original Album Classics, Vol. 2 - Mountain

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.
