Lyrics for The Unforgettable Fire

Ice, your only rivers run cold These city lights, they shine as silver and gold Dug from the night, your eyes as black as coal Walk on by, walk on through Walk 'til you run and don't look back For here I am Carnival, the wheels fly And the colours spin through alcohol Red wine that punctures the skin Face to face In a dry and waterless place Walk on by, walk on through So sad to besiege your love So, hang on Stay this time, stay tonight in a lie I'm only asking, but I, I think you know Come on, take me away Come on, take me away Come on, take me home, home again And if the mountains should crumble Or disappear into the sea Not a tear, no, not I Stay this time, stay tonight in a lie Ever after is a long time And if you save your love, save it all, save it all Don't push me too far, don't push me too far Tonight Tonight Tonight
