lyrics

For 10 long kisses she was all mine.
Oh, how I wish they were only nine.
For 10 sweet kisses she belonged to me.
For no more than 10 we lived just free.

The first kiss I gave her on our way back from town
in the quiet sunny pond as we started to drown.
The next we shared on the firebreak,
the third in a forest and for its own sake.

For 10 long kisses she was all mine.
Oh, how I wish they were only nine.
For 10 sweet kisses she belonged to me.
For no more than 10 we lived just free.

In the water she kissed me for the fourth time.
She kissed me again, as if it was no crime.
Kiss six I received, when she received me.
Number seven came with sex and it came with me.

For 10 long kisses she was all mine...

At kiss eight our bodies were covered in sweat.
That one was really, really wet.
Same with kiss nine, it came with the morning,
oh, our very last morning.

For 10 long kisses she was all mine...

Oh, then she kissed me the last time and so full of longing,
when her husband, my brother, appeared on the porch.
He returned from the war. He found us in the kitchen.
He took her back without any word.

I left our farm without any fight
never to return again.
No more will I kiss her, watch her, but miss her,
never feel the warm wind in her hair.

For 10 long kisses she was all mine...

It's fair as it is, but love's stronger than this
and I hope for the eleventh kiss.
