Emerson, lake & palmer heart on ice lyrics

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
