G F

In the beginning she was stunning and pure

C Eb

When he first saw her he fainted to the floor

G F

She was distant and arrogant from the start

C Eb

She did not see the fragile state of his heart

She fell in love with him

On that very day

She became softer

In every way

Even though

They were so in love

They drew a line in the sand

Just because

They did not know each other

They did not trust

The only thing that they did together

Was to make love

G F

So paradise found was not paradise to him

Oh yes he loved her

But he was still an Englishman

Tropical birds

And the heat

Only drove him crazy

Drove her away from him

Even though

They were so in love

They drew a line in the sand

Just because

They did not know each other

They did not trust

The only thing that they did together

Was to make love

She burned his house down saying

You may have forgotten me

But you’ll remember this

You fell to the ground when you saw this

My face my eyes my lips

You may have forgotten me

But you’ll never forget this kiss

They were so in love

They drew a line in the sand

BREAK: with slide guitar

When that big house burned down all around her

In the smoke and the fire

C Eb

In the devastation they never found her

She went back into her red dress

Back to her white house

To her ocean

And after that no words were spoken

About the two of them

F C Eb

Ever again

Even though

They were so in love

They drew a line in the sand

Just because

They did not know each other

They did not trust

The only thing that they did together

Was to make love
