Affairs Of The Heart Lyrics - Black Moon - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

She looked at me across the room 

Emerging from a silk cocoon 

Along beneath Venetian chandeliers 

Against the moon her body rocks 

Her eyes were cunning like a fox 

The wings of passion fly on all frontiers 

From this fire there's no returning 

No escape your heart is burning 

Love becomes a lethal weapon 

No one is to smart 

In affairs of the heart 

Haa, In affairs of the heart 

Now upon the bridge she waits 

Dreaming of our tangled fates 

Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade 

Fell just like a falling star 

A victim of this coup d'etat 

I could not see behind this masquerade 

From this fire there's no returning 

No escape your heart is burning 

Love becomes a lethal weapon 

Careful where you start 

In affairs of the heart 

In affairs of the heart 

In affairs of the heart 

Sometimes I think I'll never learn 

Were all those promises in vain 

Do the wings of fire still remain 

All is fair in love and war 

The tender draw the shortest straw 

Like autumn leaves it vanish in the air 

Is this the time we say good bye 

I call her room there's no reply 

Tonight we end this fleeting love affair 

From this fire there's no returning 

(Aah aaa) 

No escape your heart is burning 

Love becomes a lethal weapon 

(Aah aaa) 

Sharper than a dart 

In affairs of the heart 

Ohh, in affairs of the heart 

In affairs of the heart 

(Aah aaa) 

In affairs of the heart 

(Aah aaa)
