No Matter if the road is long
No matter if it's steep
No matter if the moon is gone
and the darkness is complete
No matter if we lose our way, it's written that we'll meet
At least that 's what I heard you say say
A thousand kisses deep.

I loved you when you opened like a lily to the heat
You see, I'm just another snowman standing in the rain and sleet
who loved you with his frozen love, his second hand physique
with all he is, and all he was
A thousand kisses deep.

I know you had to lie to me, I know you had to cheat
you learned it on you father's knee
and at your mother's feet
but did you have to fight your way
across the burning street?
when all our vital interests lay
a thousand kisses deep.

I'm turning tricks
I'm getting fixed
I'm back on Boogie Street
I'd like to quit the business,but I'm in it, so to speak
The thought of you is peaceful, and the file on you complete
Except what I forgot to do
a thousand kisses deep.

No matter if you're rich and strong
No matter if you're weak
No matter if you write a song
that nightingales repeat
No matter if it's nine to five
or or timeless and unique
you ditch your life to stay alive
a thousand kisses deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young
the odds are there to beat
you win awhile, and then it's done, your little winning streak
and summoned now to deal with your invincible defeat
you live your life as if it's real
a thousand kisses deep.

I hear their voices in the wine
who sometimes did me seek
the band is playing Auld Lang Syne
but the heart will not retreat
there's no forsaking what you love
no existential leap
as witness to your time and blood
a thousand kisses deep
