Emerson, Lake & Palmer (elp) - 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 pa**ion 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 gla** '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
