"A Kiss Before Death (Restless Dreams)"

(Morrison/LeBlanc)

In my restless dreams I see that town

You promised you would take me there again, (someday)...

Well, I am all alone there now

In our special place, waiting, waiting, waiting...

In my restless dreams, I'm watching you

Watching as you mourn for me

The lake ripples with each drop of my tears

Biding my time 'til you come for me

....welcome back, my love....

I am all that you've ever wanted

I can be all you'd want me to be

All you have to do is protect me

Take me with you, give your heart to me

I see your pain as you look upon me

Watching as your conscience torments you

But what guilt have you that can't be forgotten?

With but one kiss, just let it slip away

Mirror mirror on the wall

Who's the fairest one of all?

Look inside your darkest heart

See how you tore your world apart

Within the dark corners you watch me die

Upon bloodied hands, the tears you cry

Let the tears immerse you in the depths of your sin

Let the torment of your conscience begin

In this special place I'm thinking of you

Remembering the special nights we had

I feel your pain that plagues your heart

All these restless dreams, they make you so sad

Please listen, my love, for I'm afraid

Don't let these distractions drown my voice

Time is running out for us

Then you will have to make the choice

Mirror mirror, on the wall,

Who's the fairest one of all?

Look in the labryrinth of your mind

See the monsters you left behind

I'll be the dream that claims your heart

I'll be that truth that rips you apart

I'm only the truth you dare not see

I'm everything you've ever wanted her to be

I hope you have enjoyed watching me die

Reminding you of your crime which you cannot deny

How did it feel to steal her breath with your hands?

Removing one torment while another began

Did you take pleasure in seeing her shattered face writhe?

Did you breathe in relief when the life left her eyes?

Your vow said "In sickness, and in health,"

But in her pain, you only thought of yourself

I am a reflection of your guilt

I am a creature that you yourself built

But don't worry my love, I will heal your pain

With nothing to lose, you have so much to gain

How dare you turn from what the mirror reflects?

How dare you deny the truth in your soul?

I'm only what you wanted her to be

You created me, don't deny me, don't go...

For all these things that have transpired

Your love for me, I shall always admire

I'm sorry for all that you suffered through me

And I wish that you would let it all be

And though I can't bear for you to forget

It would pain me more to see you in regret

You have your life left for you to live

My final wish is that you will forgive

I loved you with my soul, bones and breath

You gave to me a kiss before death

You made me glad more than you can know

Now please my love, just let me go

....just let me go

(repeat)
