You Can Never Leave

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 glass 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 great light of the dawn
 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
