[Verse 1]
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
We never get to stop and open our eyes
One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall
And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all

[Chorus]
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

[Verse 2]
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This fragrant skin—this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste

[Chorus]
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

[Verse 3]
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight

[Chorus]
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

[Outro]
We were lovers in a dangerous time
We were lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers, lovers, lovers, oh
Lovers in a dangerous time
