You Can Never Leave Lyrics - Red Devil Dawn - Crooked Fingers

Blue eyes of fire 

Sweet desire 

Is bitter torture 

You are no father's daughter 

No man has this much to offer 

Skin dark as sin 

Soft and when 

We took cover 

From the rain and the thunder 

Under stain glass we did slumber 

'Til the sun came out to blind us 

So we could not see anything 

So we knew at once we were meant to be 

And we heard the gods all rise and say 

The love we made was no lie 

And with thirty years of hopes and fears 

Breathing down my neck 

Such a sad, sad thing I set you free 

'Cause I can't get you back 

You are fire, you are water 

And when you dance it is torture 

And maybe some night by the great light of the dawn 

We can meet 

Tangled, entwined 

We have climbed 

We have wrangled 

Shiny sequins sparked and spangled 

Our hearts iron cuffed and mangled 

We spent the night 

By the side 

Of the water 

Past the breakers and the markers 

We swam out into the darkness 

'Til we could not fell the bottom 

'Til we could not feel anything 

And the shoreline slowly drifted out of reach 

As the moon shown down and the ocean heaved 

And darkness gave to the light 

And with thirty years of hopes and fears 

Breathing down my neck 

Such a sad, sad thing I set you free 

'Cause I can't get you back 

You are fire, you are water 

And when you dance it is torture 

And maybe someday in the bottom of the ocean 

We can meet 

But we know if we do we can never leave 

'Cause the moment that we turn away 

The gods will have seen 

The love we made was a lie
