The Kiss of Life

The Dear Hunter

Hope was closing with my eyes,

down the shallow grave I was lying

Then I heard someone say you'll be stuck here forever,

but I prayed it wasn't forever

'Cause you were leaning over me,

clutching memories of when I was alive,

and then you breathed life into me one last time.

But I prayed it wasn't the last time,

because it would be so wonderful to see your starry eyes again.

[Chorus:]

Give me more than the things that I've lived for

I'm only echoes of the man that I'm supposed to be

Because I want more of the things I'd die for

I want to feel it in my soul

Now that you've unburied me

Dust me off and carry me home

And I beg you sing life to me again

I promise this won't happen again

Because it would be so wonderful to see your starry eyes again

[Chorus]
