Crooked Fingers - You Can Never Leave lyrics

Blue eyes of fire Sweet desire Is bitter torture You are no father's 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 stain gla** we did slumber 'Til the sun came out to blind us So 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 was no lie And with thirty years of hopes and fears Breathing down my neck Such a sad, sad thing I set you free 'Cause I can't get you back You are fire, you are water And when you dance it is torture And maybe some night by the grey light of the dull moon We can meet Tangled, entwined We have climbed We have wrangled Shiny sequins sparked and spangled Our hearts iron cuffed and mangled We spent the night By the side Of the water Past the breakers and the markers We swam out into the darkness 'Til we could not fell the bottom 'Til we could not feel anything And the shoreline slowly drifted out of reach As the moon shown down and the ocean heaved And darkness gave to the light And with thirty years of hopes and fears Breathing down my neck Such a sad, sad thing I set you free 'Cause I can't get you back You are fire, you are water And when you dance it is torture And maybe someday in the bottom of the ocean We can meet But we know if we do we can never leave 'Cause the moment that we turn away The gods will have seen The love we made was a lie
