AmE
Blue eyes of fire
FC
sweet desire is bitter torture,
GC
You are no fathers daughter,
GC
No man has this much to offer,
AmE
Skin dark as sin,
FC
Soft and when, We took cover,
GC
From the rain, And the thunder,
GC
Under stained glass we did slumber,
GC
Till the sun came out to blind us,
AmEF
Till we could not see anything,
AmEFC
So we knew at once we were meant to be,
FCFC
And we heard the gods all rise and say,
FCG
The love we made is no lie.
[Chorus]
GFC
And the 30 years of hopes and fears breathing down my neck,
G
Such a sad sad thing i set you free,
FC
'Cuz I can't get you back.
GC
You are fire, you are water.
GC
When you dance, it is torture.
GCAmEF
Maybe some night by the grey light of the dull moon we can meet,
[Verse]
AmEFC
Tangled, entwined, we have climbed, we have wrangled,
GC
shiny sequins sparked and spangled,
GC
Our hearts iron-cuffed and mangled,
AmEFC
We spent the night, By the side of the water,
GC
Past the breakers and the markers,
GC
We swam out into the darkness,
GC
Till we could not feel the bottom.
AmEF
Till we could not feel anything.
AmEFC
And the shoreline slowly drifted out of reach,
FCFC
As the moon shone down and the ocean heaved,
FCG
And darkness gave to the light.
[Chorus]
GFC
And with 30 years of hopes and fears breathing down my neck,
GFC
Such a sad sad thing i set you free, 'Cuz I can't get you back.
GC
You are fire, you are water.
GC
When you dance, it is torture.
GCAmF
Maybe some day on the bottom of the ocean we can meet.
AmEFC
Though we know if we do, we can never leave,
AmEFC
'Cuz the moment that we turn away
FC
The gods will say
FCG
The love we made was a lie.
