"ICY BLUE HEART" di JOHN HIATT
tratta dall'albo "Slow Turning", della A&M Records, del 1988.
She came on to him like a slow moving cold front
His beer was warmer than the look in her eye
She sat on a stool, he 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 have 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
Why, our lips could turn blue just shooting the breeze"
But under the frost, well, he thought he detected
A warm blush of red and a touch of her knee.
He said, "Girl, you're a beauty I've never witnessed
And I've see the Northern Lights dance in the air
But I've felt the cold that can follow the first kiss
And there's not enough heat in the fires burnin' there...
To melt your icy blue heart...
