"Lovers In A Dangerous Time" lyrics
(originally by Bruce Cockburn)
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You know you just 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
You're lovers in a dangerous time
You're lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This vibrant skin—this hair like lace
Your spirit open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste
You're lovers in a dangerous time
You're lovers in a dangerous time
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
You're made to feel as though your love is a crime
Ain't nothing worth having come without a fight
You been kicking at the darkness 'til you get daylight
You're lovers in a dangerous time
You're lovers in a dangerous time
You're lovers in a dangerous time
You're lovers in a dangerous time
In a dangerous time
In a dangerous time
You know you just 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
You're lovers in a dangerous time
You're lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This vibrant skin—this hair like lace
Your spirit open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste
You're lovers in a dangerous time
You're lovers in a dangerous time
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
You're made to feel as though your love is a crime
Ain't nothing worth having come without a fight
You been kicking at the darkness 'til you get daylight
You're lovers in a dangerous time
You're lovers in a dangerous time
You're lovers in a dangerous time
You're lovers in a dangerous time
In a dangerous time
In a dangerous time
