While Your Lips Are Still Red

Nightwish · Nightwish: Made In Hong Kong (And In Various Other Places) [2009]

Sweet little words made for silence

Not talk

Young heart for love

Not heartache

Dark hair for catching the wind

Not to veil the sight of a cold world



Kiss while your lips are still red

While he's still silent

Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled

Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool

Drown into eyes while they're still blind

Love while the night still hides the withering dawn



First day of love never comes back

A passionate hour's never a wasted one

The violin, the poet's hand,

Every thawing heart plays your theme with care



Kiss while your lips are still red

While he's still silent

Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled

Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool

Drown into eyes while they're still blind

Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
