Black Key Tango

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You wore your red glove slow At Don Miguel's side door I knew that look would cost me Still I came back for more Your ring hit the glass like thunder My name in your mouth, half-drowned We danced where the saints can't see us On a floor that shook no sound [Pre-Chorus] Say you don't mean it Say you won't stay But your hand finds mine And it won't let go away [Chorus] Burn for me, burn for me One more stolen night Burn for me, burn for me Under borrowed light (Shame on us) Burn for me, burn for me Till the dawn comes cold (Black key tango) Hold me like a secret you can't hold [Verse 2] Your husband left stains on the table Mine left dust on the stairs We met by the river market With salt in our hair You bit your lip when you saw me Like you had already lost We kissed in the alley shadows And paid in silence, full cost [Pre-Chorus] Say you don't mean it Say you won't stay But your hand finds mine And it won't let go away [Chorus] Burn for me, burn for me One more stolen night Burn for me, burn for me Under borrowed light (Shame on us) Burn for me, burn for me Till the dawn comes cold (Black key tango) Hold me like a secret you can't hold [Bridge] Let the church bells warn us Let the whole town stare I would cross that line again If you were waiting there [Break] One last spin One last lie Your forehead on my collar And the truth in our goodbye [Final Chorus] Burn for me, burn for me One more stolen night Burn for me, burn for me Under borrowed light (Shame on us) Burn for me, burn for me Till the dawn comes cold (Black key tango) Hold me like a secret you can't hold
