Lyrics
Steam 2
(Music - M. Novak, Lyrics - M. Novak, C. Webster)
The temperature is falling as fast as the ball
The new year’s dawning new hope for all
Being part of the crowd but each still alone
Dressed for the arctic only eyes are shone
A glance to the side, those eyes are recognized
With the memory of their eyes, the steam starts to rise.
As they both reach across to expose each other’s face
The steam starts to rise and their hearts start to race
With an impassioned embrace and the steam from their kiss
They now realize their old passion’s exist
Each feeling they would never meet again
But Life’s serendipity proves that they can
CHORUS:
Tangled in between the sheets as their hearts skip a beat
Releasing their steam as they turn up the heat
Again lost in the moment no one around
Each thinking the other would never be found.
They pushed through the crowd a room is required
All rooms are taken none to be acquired
Leaving the lobby a laundry door is ajar
Piles of sheets are inviting clothes flung afar
Embracing as one they remember the feeling
The steam is rising, their passions are reeling
CHORUS:
The world they created now shattered by light
They’ve got to get dressed and go back into the night
With their second encounter as good as the first
Thanking each other quenching their thirst
They might meet again who knows what life might be
As the steam again builds they’ll have to wait and see.
