Lyrics
No rest for the weary, battered and bruised
The future’s a cloudy sky, no sun comin’ through
I could see clearly when I was looking at you
I long to recall something so true
The thought that still remains is the way you held my hand
With an air of nonchalance, I couldn’t help but understand
I knew it couldn’t get any better than that bliss
The whole world felt at peace for a moment
For a moment in your kiss
No prisoners taken, win or you lose
Hearts go on breakin’, what else is new
I can’t stop shaking or wakin’ up blue
I yearn to recall something so true
The thought that still remains is the way you held my hand
With an air of nonchalance, I couldn’t help but understand
I knew it couldn’t get any better than that bliss
The whole world felt at peace for a moment
For a moment in your kiss
Fire, smoke and mirrors play with faded memory
Then something real comes back to me
The thought that still remains is the spearmint on your breath
A whisper on your lips and a warmth, I won’t forget
I said it couldn’t get any better than this
Now I’d trade this weary soul for a moment
Just a moment in your kiss
