by David Crosby & Craig Doerge

I'm sitting here at my piano
I'm wondering how this battle can be won
The woman I was sure I was in love with
seems to feel that the deal is done

But I don't, no I don't
and I want you to understand.

Oh yes I can
Still be the man
You fell in love with
Oh yes I can
Fire and ice, fire and ice...water

Well I'm sittin' here in my kitchen
But food is not on my mind
I love you so much
I don't want to see you go
And I think
This must be what it feels like to be going blind.

And I need you know I need
and I need you to understand.

Oh yes I can
Still be the man
You fell in love with
Oh yes I can
Fire and ice, fire and ice...water

And I'm sittin' here in the sand dunes
Asking the ocean what to do
I found my life again and it's you
I want to share it with
but I'm so afraid of losing you.

And I know, you know I know
and I want you to understand

Oh yes I can
Still be the man
You fell in love with
Oh yes I can
You see, I'm talking about
Fire and ice
Fire and ice
Makes water
