Recorded live at Lauderdale House Highgate London.

If I only had

if I only had

just an hour to live

not one minute more

I would pray for power

just to spend an hour

pressed against your heart

until time departs

and its vibrant beat

would be so warm & sweet

as I held you near

to dispel my fear

and I feel you still

and next winters chill

laid a barren hand upon the land

If I only had

if I only had

just an hour to live

not one minute more

I would hold you while

I would fill your smile

as I whispered of my secret ways of love

‘till a single kiss would explode with bliss

and then satisfied

I’d let my soul subside

never minding who

might be loving you

when my crack of doom

crept across our room

we would burst with joy

the time could not destroy

perfect slice of life

happy love & life

and with this in view

I take my leave of you

and my life would run out to meet the sun.
