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

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
(fill, vibrate notes slightly)
1---18--18-----18--18-----18--18- 2-------------------------------- 3-------------------------------- 4-------------------------------- 5-------------------------------- 6--------------------------------

Face to face in a dry and waterless place
(repeat chorus)
Walk on by, walk on through
So sad to beseige your love so head on
Stay in this time

Stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking, but I think you know
1-------------6-- 2---10---8----3-- 3---10---9----3-- 4---10---10---3-- 5-------------5-- 6---8----8----3--

Come on take me away
Come on take me away
Come on take me home, home again
(string interlude)

(loud string part)
1----------------------------- 2----------------------------- 3---5--7----------------2--3-- 4---5--7----------------2--3-- 5---3--5----------------0--1-- 6-----------------------------

And if the mountains should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I
Standing this time
Stay tonight in a lie
Forever after this love in time
And if you save your love
Save it all
1---6-------9-- 2---3-------8-- 3---3-------6-- 4---3-------7-- 5---5-------0-- 6---3----------

Don't push me too far
Don't push me too far
Tonight
Tonight
