When Love Looks Back at You

I feel the tension

In your hand

I'm on a plane to a

Foreign land

So far away with no

Telephone line

I'm flying into spring

And leaving winter behind

I know it'll be winter

In your heart

Icy stone cold winter

All the time we're apart

As I look at you

Looking back at me

The wordless tears in your eyes

What's inside of you?

What's inside of me?

You may not realize for days and days

The consequences of that gaze

When love looks back at you

When love looks back at you

Love is a monster

With a need to devour

All who fall

In her power

And love is a sweet thing

With a need to caress

Security, stability and happiness

I'm flying, flying from

Reality

Where two things can be true

Simultaneously

I feel a cold wind

In the street outside

A plane flies low

Through the rain-filled sky

Winter's come to get me

And it's tearing me apart

As cool blue summer

Floods your open heart
