We still sit at separate
tables and we
sleep at different
times and the
warm wind in the
palm trees hasn't
helped to change our minds
It was thelure of the
tropics that I
thought might heal the
scars Of a
love burned out by
silence in a
marriage minus heart
And I call the kids on the telephone Say there's
something wrong out here It's Ju
ly but it's cold as
Christmas In the
middle of the year The
temperature's up to
ninety five But there's a
winter
look in your
mother's eyes And to
melt the tears there's a
heat wave here So
how come it's
cold as Christmas in the
middle of the
year.
I dreamed of love in a better
climate And for
what it's really
worth I put
faith in the star we
followed To this
Caribbean surf
But there's an icy fringe on
everything And I
cannot find the
lines Where's the
beauty in the
beast we made Why the
frost in the summertime.
