Lake & Palmer Emerson - Affairs Of The Heart lyrics
rate meShe 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 theres 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 detat<br />
I could not see behind this masquerade<br />
<br />
From this fire theres 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 Ill 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 theres no reply<br />
Tonight we end this fleeting love affair<br />
<br />
From this fire theres 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
