Dan Hill - Frozen In The Night Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She said, "All I want is someone
Who can take me as I am
Someone strong enough to be gentle
Someone warm enough to be a friend"

[Verse 2]
Her dress was black as the night was hot
Her eyes so green they could kill you
And the hotel room felt old
And frighteningly familiar

[Verse 3]
She asked him for a cigarette
He asked her for her name
She said, "Call me anything you want
Makes no difference anyway"

[Verse 4]
Her anger flared like lighting fire
Her brown skin young but aging fast
And the old man clung to her distance
Tried to drink from an empty glass

[Chorus]
Tell me does anyone break through to you
"Seldom but I never tell them if they do"
Outside a siren screamed and she began to shake
She sat frozen in the night like there was no escape
There was no escape

[Verse 5]
She turned off the lights and somewhere
In the darkness flashed a gun
She said, "You know what I'm after
I don't wanna hurt no one"

[Verse 6]
As money fell to the hardened floor
The old man cursed his silence
And the moon shot down so softly
In mock defiance

[Verse 7]
He stared out the windows
While she fumbled for the door
Then the old man put his clothes back on
Though he didn't know what for

[Verse 8]
Her dress was black as the night was hot
Her eyes so green they could kill you
And the hotel room grew cold
And suddenly unfamiliar

[Chorus]
Tell me does anyone break through to you
"Seldom but I never tell them if they do"
Outside a siren screamed just a bit too late
The old man sat frozen in the night like there was no escape
There was no escape

[Chorus]
Tell me does anyone break through to you
"Seldom but I never tell them if they do"
Outside a siren screamed just a bit too late
The old man sat frozen in the night like there was no escape
There was no escape, there was no escape
