|
Blue eyes of fire |
|
Sweet desire |
|
Is bitter torture |
|
You are no father's daughter |
|
No man has this much to offer |
|
Skin dark as sin |
|
Soft and when |
|
We took cover |
|
From the rain and the thunder |
|
Under stain glass we did slumber' |
|
Til the sun came out to blind us |
|
So we could not see anything |
|
So we knew at once we were meant to be |
|
And we heard the gods all rise and say |
|
The love we made was no lie |
|
And with thirty years of hopes and fears |
|
Breathing down my neck |
|
Such a sad, sad thing |
|
I set you free' |
|
Cause I can't get you back |
|
You are fire, you are water |
|
And when you dance it is torture |
|
And maybe some night by the great light of the dawn |
|
We can meet |
|
Tangled, entwined |
|
We have climbed |
|
We have wrangled |
|
Shiny sequins sparked and spangled |
|
Our hearts iron cuffed and mangled |
|
We spent the night |
|
By the side |
|
Of the water |
|
Past the breakers and the markers |
|
We swam out into the darkness' |
|
Til we could not fell the bottom' |
|
Til we could not feel anything |
|
And the shoreline slowly drifted out of reach |
|
As the moon shown down and the ocean heaved |
|
And darkness gave to the light |
|
And with thirty years of hopes and fears |
|
Breathing down my neck |
|
Such a sad, sad thing |
|
I set you free' |
|
Cause I can't get you back |
|
You are fire, you are water |
|
And when you dance it is torture |
|
And maybe someday in the bottom of the ocean |
|
We can meet |
|
But we know if we do we can never leave' |
|
Cause the moment that we turn away |
|
The gods will have seen |
|
The love we made was a lie |
