Lyrics
Talisman (S. Douglas / S. Kilpatrick)
Welcome to the winter of my discontent.
I’d like to think I lived my life well-spent.
And as the seasons turn
I watch the fires burn
It started and it ended with a kiss.
It happened in the springwhen the devil pulled the strings.
The petals were like bloodstains on the ground.
Bring me your talisman...
She left me in the autumn when I hit rock bottom.
Dead leaves were soaking up the sound.
It started and it ended with a kiss.
Won’t you help me, won’t you help me?
Save me from myself...
Welcome to the summer of our love again
I picked a crimson flower for your hair
Like it ‘69 all the planets fell in line
It started and it ended with a rose
It started and it ended, it started and it ended,
It started and it ended with a kiss...
