another bard on the road

kisses you madly
kisses you whole
kisses you twice
and a third time he stole
a nice kiss for the road
to goad you to laughter
so after he's gone
the kiss lingers on

kisses you softly so softly and caring,
he kisses you sweet reckless and daring
then once for the road to goad you to laughter,
so after he's gone
his kiss lingers on.

kisses you truly, so deeply its scary,
kisses you open all mean and all hairy
then once for the road to goad you to laughter
so after he's gone, his kiss lingers on

kisses you often, so often then rarely
till sadness is holy the world treats you unfairly
then he hits the road to goad you to crying
so after he's gone, you'll hope he's dying

kisses you never, never kisses you darling
just walks away from nearling to farthing
then once for the road to goad you to laughter
so after he's gone his kiss lingers on

and on
and on

his kiss lingers on

with a memory of how
he kissed you so madly
kissed you whole
then kissed you twice
that third time he stole
a last kiss for the road
to goad you to laughter
so after he'd gone
that kiss
each kiss
his kiss lingered on
