Run to catch a kiss
before it runs its course
Love had played one of us
It made you a poor loser
And I tried to be kind to your grief
but the skeleton at the feast
wept outside my door
Until the penny dropped
I washed my hands all day
All of the day
could not get your trace away
The cracked bell gave no sound
like the fanfare in full cry
Don't you linger or look behind
turn a corner of time
So run to catch a kiss
before it runs its course
as love had played one of us
before it runs its course
Love had played one of us
It made you a poor loser
And I tried to be kind to your grief
but the skeleton at the feast
wept outside my door
Until the penny dropped
I washed my hands all day
All of the day
could not get your trace away
The cracked bell gave no sound
like the fanfare in full cry
Don't you linger or look behind
turn a corner of time
So run to catch a kiss
before it runs its course
as love had played one of us
