Barenaked Ladies - Lovers In A Dangerous Time Lyrics


Barenaked Ladies Lyrics

Lovers In A Dangerous Time Lyrics
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open our eyes
One minute youre waiting for the sky to fall
The next youre dazzled by the beauty of it all
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time


These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This fragrant skin this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste

Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

When youre lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes youre made to feel as if your loves a crime
Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight
When youre lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

We were lovers in a dangerous time
We were lovers in a dangerous time
