Cold Fire

[Verse 1] 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' [Chorus] I'll be around If you don't let me down too far I'll be around If you don't let me down [Verse 2] 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' [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] I'll be around If you don't push me down too far I'll be around If you don't push me down [Outro] Love is blind if you are gentle Love can turn to a long, cold burn...
