(John Hiatt)

She came on to him like a slow moving cold front
|
His beer was warmer that the look in her eye
|
She sat on the stool, and she said "What do you want
|
She said Give me a love that don't freeze up inside
|
He said, I have melted some hearts in my time dear
|
But to sit next to you Lord I shiver and shake
|
And if I knew love, well I don't think I'd be here
|
Askin' myself if I had what it takes
|
To melt your icy blue heart
|
|
Should I start to turn what's been frozen for years
|
Into a river of tears
|
These days we all play cool calm and collected
|
Our lips could turn blue just shooting the breeze
|
But under the frost, wee thought he detected
|
A warm blush of red, and the touch of her knee
|
He said you're a beauty like I've never witnessed
|
And I've seen the northern lights dance in the air
|
I've felt the cold that can follow the first kiss
|
And there's not enough heat in the fires burning there
|
To melt your icy blue heart
|
|
Should I start to turn what's been frozen for years
|
Into a river of tears
|
To melt your icy blue heart
|
