Affairs Of The Heart - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Written by：Geoff Downes/Greg Lake

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

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

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

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 leathal 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

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

They 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

No escape your heart is burning

Love becomes a leathal weapon

Sharper than a dart

In affairs of the heart

In affairs of the heart

In affairs of the heart

In affairs of the heart
