The Kiss - Judee Sill

Love rising from the mists

Promise me this and only this

Holy breath touching me, like a wind song

Sweet communion of a kiss

Sun sifting through the grey

Enter in, reach me with a ray

Silently swooping down, just to show me

How to give my heart away

Once a crystal choir

Appeared while I was sleeping

And called my name

And when they came down nearer

Saying, «Dying is done,»

Then a new song was sung

Until somewhere we breathed as one

And still I hear their whisper

Stars bursting in the sky

Hear the sad nova’s dying cry

Shimmering memory, come and hold me

While you show me how to fly

Sun sifting through the grey

Enter in, reach me with a ray

Silently swooping down, just to show me

How to give my heart away

Lately sparkling hosts

Come fill my dreams, descending

On fiery beams

I’ve seen 'em come clear down

Where our poor bodies lay

Soothe us gently and say

«Gonna wipe all your teas away.»

And still I hear their whisper…

Love, rising from the mists

Promise me this and only this

Holy breath touching me, like a wind song

Sweet communion of a kiss
