Emmylou Harris - 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
