Icy Blue Heart Lyrics

(John Hiatt)

She came on to him like a slow moving cold front 
His beer was warmer that the look in her eye 
She sat on the stool, and she said "What do you want 
She said Give me a love that don`t freeze up inside 
He said, I have melted some hearts in my time dear 
But to sit next to you  Lord I shiver and shake 
And if I knew love, well I don`t think I`d be here 
Askin` myself if I   had what it takes 
To melt your icy blue heart 

Should I start  to turn what`s been frozen for years 
Into a river of tears 
These days we all play cool calm and collected 
Our lips could turn blue just shooting the breeze 
But under the frost, wee thought he detected 
A warm blush of red, and the touch of her knee 
He said you`re a beauty like I`ve never witnessed 
And I`ve seen the northern lights dance in the air 
I`ve felt the cold that can follow the first kiss 
And there`s  not enough heat in the fires burning there 
To melt your icy blue heart 

Should I start  to turn what`s been frozen for years 
Into a river of tears 
To melt your icy blue heart
