Cold Fire lyrics

It was long after midnight

When we got to unconditional love

She said, “Sure, my heart is boundless

But don’t push my limits too far”

I said, “If love was so transcendent

I don’t understand these boundaries”

She said, ”Just don’t disappoint me

You know how complex women are”

I’ll be around

If you don’t let me down too far

I’ll be around

If you don’t let me down

It was just before sunrise

When we started on traditional roles

She said, “Sure, I’ll be your partner

But don’t make too many demands”

I said, “If love has these conditions

I don’t understand those songs you love”

She said, “This is not a love song

This isn’t fantasyland”

Don’t go too far

A phosphorescent wave on a tropical sea is a cold fire

Don’t cross the line

The pattern of moonlight on the bedroom floor is a cold fire

Don’t let me down

The flame at the heart of a pawnbroker’s diamond is a cold fire

Don’t break the spell

The look in your eyes as you head for the door is a cold fire

I’ll be around

If you don’t push me down too far

I’ll be around

If you don’t push me down

Love is blind if you are gentle

Love can turn to a long, cold burn
