Lovers
in a Dangerous Time
Words
& Music by Bruce Cockburn
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days
go by
We never get to stop and open our eyes
One minute you're waiting for the sky
to fall
And next you're 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 through a 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
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your
love's a crime
Nothing worth having comes without some
kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds
daylight
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
Lovers.....
