One Last Cold Kiss

Dm                          C
Two island swans, mated for life,
Dm                                  C               Dm
And his faithful heart would not consider any other wife.
Dm                                                    C
For three years peaceful joy midst the rushes of the pond,
Dm                                      C              Dm
Proud and gentle was the loving of the last two island swans.
Dm                                                C
Their love was like a circle, no beginning and no end,
Dm                          C                 Dm
With his lady by his side a treasure and best friend.
Dm                                                C
The pond was all so peaceful in the rising of the sun,
Dm                                        C             Dm
Young and free at the island breeze their life had just begun.
Dm                                                     C
'Til a dread day in November when the searing cold did start,
Dm                                         C                 G
Stalked the hunter with his bow and put an arrow through her heart.
Dm                                                C
Husband come to my side let your feathers warm my pain,
Dm                                  C            Dm
For I feel I will not spend another day with you again.
        F    C     Dm
And the cold winds blow,
       F         C         Am
He was brave but he's laid low.
       Dm          C       Dm
By her body in the isle of mist,
                                                     F  G   Am
I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss.
Dm                                                C
Of swans the people talk of only one in this days tide,
Dm                             C                             Dm
Though they brought him twenty ladies he would take no other bride.
Dm                                                     C
They say he will not move from the place where she did fall,
Dm                                   C                Dm
Once so proud he's beaten now and he will not rise at all.
        F    C     Dm
And the cold winds blow,
       F         C         Am
He was brave but he's laid low.
       Dm          C       Dm
By her body in the isle of mist,
                                                     F  G   Am
I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss.
Dm                          C
Two island swans, mated for life,
Dm                                  C               Dm
And his faithful heart would not consider any other wife.
