This hair like lace

Don't the hours go shorter as the days go by

We never get to stop and open our eyes

One minute your waiting for the sky to fall

The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all




These fragile bodies of touch and taste

This fragrant skin, this hair like lace

Spirits open to a thrust of grace

Never a breath you can afford to waste




When you're lovers in a dangerous time

Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime

Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight

Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight

When you're lovers in a dangerous time
