Rush - Cold Fire lyrics

It was long after midnight
When we got to unconditional love
She said, 'Sure, my heart is boundless
But don't push my limit's too far'
I said, 'If love was so transcendent
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
I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around if you don't push me down

(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 let me down too far
I'll be around if you don't let me down
I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around if you don't push me down
I'll be around if you don't let me down

(It's a cold fire, such a cold fire)
Love is blind if you are gentle
(It's a cold fire, such a cold fire)
Love can turn to a long, cold burn
