Sapphire & Steel

from StoryTeller by Rob Tunbridge

lyrics

You offered me an illusion of life
But then you killed it with a flash of your knife
You gave me your heart—Gave nothing at all
Looking at you I wonder if it meant anything at all


CHORUS
‘cos I’m looking in your blue eyes like ice
And your words they cut like the edge of a knife
Looking at you I think of sapphire & steel
Hard and unyielding , cold and unreal
Looking at you I think of sapphire & steel
Sapphire & steel, so cold and unreal

You came with your magic and you offered me light
You drank my whiskey then you stayed the night
But you never told me—How sweet life could be
You used me, abused me, and you never let me break free

CHORUS

It wasn’t until you left me that night
That I saw the tunnel at the end of the light
You came in the darkness—Left the same way
You showed me my heart but then
you broke it when you went away

CHORUS

Sapphire & steel; Sapphire & steel
