Select language to translate this lyric
Blue eyes of fire, sweet desire is bitter torture
You are no fathers 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 stained glass we did slumber
Till the sun came out to blind us
Till 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 is no lie
And the 30 years of hopes and fears
Breathing down my neck
Such a sad sad thing I set you free
'Cuz I can't get you back
You are fire, you are water
When you dance, it is torture
Maybe some night, by the gray light
Of the dull moon, we can meet
Tangled, entwined, we have climbed
We have wrangled, shiny sequence
Sparked and spangled
Our hearts are cuffed and mangled
We spent the night
By the side of the water
Passed the breakers and the markers
We swam out into the darkness
Till we could not feel the bottom
Till we could not feel anything
And the shoreline slowly drifted out fo reach
As the moon shone down and the ocean heaved
And darkness gave to light
And with 30 years of hopes and fears
Breathing down my neck
Such a sad sad thing I set you free
'Cuz I can't get you back
You are fire, you are water
When you dance, it is torture
Maybe some day on the bottom
Of the ocean we can meet
Though we know if we do, we can never leave
'Cuz the moment that we turn away
The Gods will say
The love we made was a lie
