Cold fire

Such a cold fire

It’s a cold fire

It’s a cold fire

It was long after midnight

When we got to unconditioned love

She said, Sure my heart is boundless,

But don’t push my limits too far

I said, If love is 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,

Thes 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

I’ll be around

If you don’t let me down

(It’s a cold fire, fire, fire )

Love is blind if you are gentle

(Such a cold fire, fire, fire )

(It’s a cold fire, fire, fire )

Love can turn to a long, cold burn

(Such a cold fire, fire, fire )
