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 [5]
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 [10]
Too far
I’ll be around
If you don’t let me down...
It was just before sunrise
When we started on traditional roles [15]
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 [20]
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— [25]
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 [30]
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 [35]
