Lover Reef

There's a cold wind through
This sea of sand
And the sun's gone down
On our parting hands
So darling please
Don't let me go
Tread lightly on this
Bed of snow.

(chorus)
There's a fire lit
So let's unthaw now
Too cold and too far
We'll make it out somehow
We've turned to ice
And it's not our way to be
So let the earth quake
And melt with me.

Through the coldest nights
And dawning day
I will wait for you
In our hideaway
And our lips will meet
In the frozen air
When the shadows fall
I'll still be there.

When our emotions first ignited
It's like our hearts were never tired
My desires were set free
Was like a raging wildfire.
But now that spark has grown dark
We're now just dying embers
Afraid I'll end up all alone
Within these cold Decembers.

(chorus)
There's a fire lit
So let's unthaw now
Too cold and too far
We'll make it out somehow
We've turned to ice
And it's not our way to be
So let the earth quake
And melt with me.
