it was a quiet conversation
kept alone and in between
and as the sun was setting crimson
the moon shone silver on the stream

in his eyes, a bitter season
passed me over like a wind
low in his voice i heard a woman
though he tried not to let her in

and he told me, "don't believe in love"
"she'll only steal your heart away"

now i see his lips are trembling
ice is singing in his hands
he sees in me his own reflection
knows i only understand

the thing in him that keeps this longing
for one who is only a dream
there is no truth he can find in love
it hurts him to see hope in me

and he told me, "don't believe in love"
"she'll only steal your heart away"

lead break

and he told me, "don't believe in love"
"she'll only steal your heart away"

but when she steps inside the circle
in his eyes i see the fire
and there is no one else around them
and darkness fades into the light


so i stood alone in the lamplight
watched a star fall from the sky
and i wondered, was it his heart
that was stolen here... tonight?

and he told me, "don't believe in love"
"she'll only steal your heart away"

keep falling from the sky
keep falling from the sky
