Cold Fire

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 is so transcendant

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 fantasy-land



Don't go too far -

The 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 push me down

Too far

I'll be around

If you don't push me down



Don't go too far -

The 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 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...

It's a cold fire...

It's a cold fire...

It's a cold fire...



Love is blind if you are gentle

Love can turn to a long, cold burn
