"Icy Blue Heart" [background vocals by Bonnie Raitt] (written by John Hiatt)

From "Bluebird" album [1989]

LYRICS:

She came on to him like a slow moving cold front

His beer was warmer that the look in her eye

She sat on the stool, and she said "What do you want

She said Give me a love that don't freeze up inside

He said, I have melted some hearts in my time dear

But to sit next to you Lord I shiver and shake

And if I knew love, well I don't think I'd be here

Askin' myself if I had what it takes

To melt your icy blue heart

Should I start to turn what's been frozen for years

Into a river of tears

These days we all play cool calm and collected

Our lips could turn blue just shooting the breeze

But under the frost, wee thought he detected

A warm blush of red, and the touch of her knee

He said you're a beauty like I've never witnessed

And I've seen the northern lights dance in the air

I've felt the cold that can follow the first kiss

And there's not enough heat in the fires burning there

To melt your icy blue heart

Should I start to turn what's been frozen for years

Into a river of tears

To melt your icy blue heart
