Lyrics

One Slow Kiss - by Sam Baardman

Your voice it feels like a river running over polished stones
Cool break in the dry of the summer, one word from you, I'd be gone
Thorn trees and telephone lines cast shadows on my sun-soaked eyes
If I thought we could see it through, you know I'd run the road with you

And watch the slow surrender of each day into the night
You know, every half-lit corner of my mind is feeling tight
I can feel it in my pocket, I can feel it in my skin
I don't know how much longer I can hold this in

You have been torn into pieces, sewn into a lover's flag
Still every day I can see you waving with an open hand
We just can't cut it free, if leaving solved it, we'd just leave
But I can't help saying this, we could run the road

And just watch the slow surrender of each day into the night
You know, every half-lit corner of my mind is feeling tight
I can feel it in my pocket, I can feel it in my skin
I don't know how much longer I can hold this in

I have been tied up with paper, lashed down, bound with a word
Love and the law live together, but these laws of love are absurd
I'm pawing at the ground, these so-called secrets seem so loud
I cannot give in to this, but it would take just one slow kiss

To watch the slow surrender of each day into the night
You know, every half-lit corner of my mind is feeling tight
I can feel it in my pocket, I can feel it in my skin
I don't know how much longer I can hold this in

I want to watch the slow surrender of each day into the night
You know, every half-lit corner of my mind is feeling right
I can feel it in my pocket, I can feel it in my skin
I don't know how much longer I can hold this in
