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
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 these songs you love
She said this is not a love song
This isn`t fantasy land
I`ll be around
If you don`t let me down
Too far
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
Love is blind if you are gentle
Love can turn to a long, cold burn
