Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Heart On Ice

Just take my heart put it on ice

‘Cause I don’t think I could stand another blow

Just one more tumble of the dice

Though it’s slipping through my hands

I can’t let go

And when the hard rain falls

Whatever you may say

There’s no hiding in this jungle

You just can’t run away

And I’m sorry when I fell from grace

Unable to conceal

Only passion is a fool to chase

The loneliness I fell

Just take my heart into the night

It no longer needs to see the light of day

Heaven knows I cannot fight

As the edges of my soul get chipped away

Walking down this street

The gutter runs with tears

I would sell my heart

To cross the bridge of compromise

But you cannot walk on broken glass

‘Cause every step you take

Is just one cut deeper than the last

Just one more heart you break

Just take my heart put it on ice

Your love is a fire, a burning hurricane

We can never cross the river of good-byes

While desire hides in the darkness

Searching for the flame

There were so many days

And still I wonder why

I will never mend these broken wings

No matter how I try

I thought we had it all, but now it seems

We just flickered like a candle

In the cathedral of our dreams

Just take my heart put it on ice

Your love is a fire, a burning hurricane

We can never cross the river of good- byes

While desire hides in the darkness

Searching for the flame

Just take my heart put it on ice

Your love is a fire, a burning hurricane

We can never cross the river of good-byes

While desire hides in the darkness

Searching for the flame
