Kisses from Destiny Road by The Gary Dranow Band

This is the ultimate break-up song. How, when passions grow cold, and the fire that was behind so many of my lovers and wives faded away. Until I could feel the loss of passion in their kisses.The lyric “falling to the ground it breaks like a china doll in tormented seas” is a simile of the angst I constantly forced my partners to live through until I was managed pharmaceutically.

The song reflects years of relationships flourishing first then over time my intimate partners would grow to to grow gold often hiding their feelings and linger on past when the passion is gone. This song is about love dying and two people holding on to something that has slipped away.

Lyrics

Turn your head away
with sweet distain
hiding in your eyes
Nothing left to say
a bitter toast
to celebrate goodbye
I tried to walk away
but my heart won't set me free
Fallen to the ground it breaks
Like a China Doll in tormented seas

I don't believe in your kiss anymore
How could I believe in your kiss,
so dark and cold

Disillusioned shattered rain
Drowning Passions cold with doubt
With empty thoughts I watch you leave
My broken trust strewn all about
I was blind as love could be
You stole the truth from in front of me
With darken threads you sewed your lies
My every waking hour cries

I don't believe in your kiss anymore
How could I believe in your kisses,
so dark and cold

I don't believe in your kiss anymore
How could I believe in your kisses,
so dark and so cold

Turn your head away
with sweet distain
hiding in your eyes
Nothing left to say
a bitter toast
to celebrate goodbye
I tried to walk away
but my heart won't set me free
Fallen to the ground it breaks
Like a China Doll in tormented seas

I don't believe in your kiss anymore
How can I believe in your kisses,
so dark and cold
