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 was 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
I´ll be around
If you don´t let me down

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 those songs you love."
She said "This is not a love song
This isn´t fantasyland."

Don´t go too far
A 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

I´ll be around
If you don´t push me down too far
I´ll be around
If you don´t push me down

Love is blind if you are gentle
Love can turn to a long, cold burn...
