The night that you first touched me You shook me from my peace, then took me from a safe place You took me from a safe place and you stole my heart's ease
You act like a mortician, presiding at a wake I close the lid on passion Knowing well what's at stake Your love consumed me wholly At times I could not breathe I daren't love you solely Always felt you might leave
I offered you my soul like a humble sacrifice You put it under a glass Then you put it on ice, on ice, on ice, on ice, on ice, on ice, on ice, on ice, on ice
And now that love has burned me I'm waiting by the pyre I thought my eyes were open When I started the fire And then to pile on insult, after the injury You said my soul was tarnished How you rubbed off on me!
Well now that all's been done and We've had our last farewell I'm burning all your letters, watching them all burn slow, burn slow, burn slow, burn slow, (repeat)
