Rush - Cold Fire lyrics

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
