Cold Fire

Cold fire

It's a cold fire

It's a cold fire

It's a 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 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)

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 pawnbrokers 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 pawnbrokers 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 let me down too far

I'll be around

If you don't let 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) Love is blind if you are gentle

(It's a cold fire) Love can turn to a long, cold burn
