lovers



don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by?
you never get to stop and open your eyes

one day you're waiting for the sky to fall

the next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
when you're lovers in a dangerous time
lovers in a dangerous time


these fragile bodies of touch and taste

this vibrant skin, this hair like lace

spirits open to the thrust of grace
never a breath you can afford to waste


when you're lovers in a dangerous time

lovers in a dangerous time

when you're 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 till it bleeds daylight

-bruce cockburn 1983
