Ice, your only rivers run cold.
These city lights, they shine in silver and gold
dug from the night, your eyes as black as coal.
Walk on by, walk on through,
walk till you run,
and don't look back
for here I am.
Carnival, the wheels fly and the colors spin
through alcohol, red wine that punctures the skin.
Face to face, in a dry and waterless place.
Walk on by, walk on through,
so sad to besiege your love so head on.
Stay in this time, stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking but I think you know.
Come on, take me away
Come on, take me home
Come on, take me home
Home again.
And if the mountains should crumble,
or disappear into the sea--
not a tear, no, not I.
Stay in this time, stay tonight in a lie
ever after. There's love in time
and if you save your love;
save it all,
save it all.
Don't push it too far
Don't push it too far
tonight, tonight, tonight.
