Oh the last time I saw her she was waving goodbye
With a rose in her teeth and a gleam in her eye
She had wings on her heels, she was learning to fly
And blood on her lips where she’d kissed me goodbye
And I still remember the night we first met
With her hair hanging long, silk scarf round her neck
She said ‘Come all ye faithful, come unto me’
And she laughed and I gave her my heart
And the blackbird still sings, and the swallows still fly
When I call to my dog, he still runs to my side
And the moon still shines silver on a clear night like this
And I still remember our last kiss
She was corn fed and pretty, I was hungry and high
And I melted like snow, in the heat from her eyes
She wore Doc Martens with satin and lace
And the air round her crackled with a wild gypsy grace
She said ’I love you I hate you, get out of my life,’
And we danced round each other like thieves in the night
Wore her feelings like jewellery for the whole world to see
One day you’re her friend, the next her enemy
But the trees that we planted still blossom and flower
The wine that we made still fills up my glass
And the moon still shines silver on a clear night like this
And I still remember our last kiss
She looked round one last time as she took off down the road
Said ‘I hear you better when my eyes are closed’
She flew on butterfly wings down the highway of life
But she was brought down to earth by a false alibi
She had God on her shoulder Devil in her right hand
And the words that they spoke she could not understand
There was love in her eyes, there was love in her heart
In the end it was love that tore her apart
And the blackbird still sings, and the swallows still fly
When I call to my dog, he still runs to my side
And the moon still shines silver on a clear night like this
And I still remember our last kiss
I still love you, I still love you, I still love you, I still love you
