Emerson Lake And Palmer Heart On Ice Lyrics

Heart On Ice Lyrics

Just take my heart put it on ice 
`Cause I don`t think I could stand another blow 
Just one more tumble of the dice 
Though it`s slipping through my hands 
I can`t let go 

And when the hard rain falls 
Whatever you may say 
There`s no hiding in this jungle 
You just can`t run away 

And I`m sorry when I fell from grace 
Unable to conceal 
Only passion is a fool to chase 
The loneliness I fell 

Just take my heart into the night 
It no longer needs to see the light of day 
Heaven knows I cannot fight 
As the edges of my soul get chipped away 

Walking down this street 
The gutter runs with tears 
I would sell my heart 
To cross the bridge of compromise 

But you cannot walk on broken glass 
`Cause every step you take 
Is just one cut deeper than the last 
Just one more heart you break 

Just take my heart put it on ice 
Your love is a fire, a burning hurricane 
We can never cross the river of good-byes 
While desire hides in the darkness 
Searching for the flame 

There were so many days 
And still I wonder why 
I will never mend these broken wings 
No matter how I try 
I thought we had it all, but now it seems 
We just flickered like a candle 
In the cathedral of our dreams 

Just take my heart put it on ice 
Your love is a fire, a burning hurricane 
We can never cross the river of good- byes 
While desire hides in the darkness 
Searching for the flame 

Just take my heart put it on ice 
Your love is a fire, a burning hurricane 
We can never cross the river of good-byes 
While desire hides in the darkness 
Searching for the flame
