You Can Never Leave

Blue eyes of fire

Sweet desire

Is bitter torture

You are no father's daughter

No man has this much to offer

Skin dark as sin

Soft and when

We took cover

From the rain and the thunder

Under stain glass we did slumber'

Til the sun came out to blind us

So we could not see anything

So we knew at once we were meant to be

And we heard the gods all rise and say

The love we made was no lie

And with thirty years of hopes and fears

Breathing down my neck

Such a sad, sad thing

I set you free'

Cause I can't get you back

You are fire, you are water

And when you dance it is torture

And maybe some night by the great light of the dawn

We can meet

Tangled, entwined

We have climbed

We have wrangled

Shiny sequins sparked and spangled

Our hearts iron cuffed and mangled

We spent the night

By the side

Of the water

Past the breakers and the markers

We swam out into the darkness'

Til we could not fell the bottom'

Til we could not feel anything

And the shoreline slowly drifted out of reach

As the moon shown down and the ocean heaved

And darkness gave to the light

And with thirty years of hopes and fears

Breathing down my neck

Such a sad, sad thing

I set you free'

Cause I can't get you back

You are fire, you are water

And when you dance it is torture

And maybe someday in the bottom of the ocean

We can meet

But we know if we do we can never leave'

Cause the moment that we turn away

The gods will have seen

The love we made was a lie
