Lovers In A Dangerous Time Lyrics - Bruce Cockburn

Don't 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 

When you're 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 

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
