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   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   But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight   You got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight   When you're lovers in a dangerous time   Lovers in a dangerous time   Lovers in a dangerous time   Lovers in a dangerous time
