EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER - Affairs Of The Heart lyrics

rate me

She looked at me across the room<br>Emerging from a silk cocoon<br>Along beneath venetian chandeliers<br>Against the moon her body rocks<br>Her eyes were cunning like a fox<br>The wings of passion fly on all frontiers<br><br>From this fire there's no returning<br>No escape your heart is burning<br>Love becomes a lethal weapon<br>No one is to smart<br>In affairs of the heart<br><br>Now upon the bridge she waits<br>Dreaming of our tangled fates<br>Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade<br>I fell just like a falling star<br>A victim of this coup d'etat<br>I could not see behind this masquerade<br><br>From this fire there's no returning<br>No escape your heart is burning<br>Love becomes a leathal weapon<br>Be careful where you start<br>In affairs of the heart<br><br>Sometimes I think I'll never learn<br>Were all those promises in vain<br>Do the wings of fire still remain<br><br>All is fair in love and war<br>The tender draw the shortest straw<br>Like autumn leaves they vanish in the air<br>Is this the time we say good-bye<br>I call her room there's no reply<br>Tonight we end this fleeting love affair<br><br>From this fire there's no returning<br>No escape your heart is burning<br>Love becomes a leathal weapon<br>Sharper than a dart<br>In affairs of the heart
