“I gave you my life, you gave me my life.
Like a gush of wind in my hair.”
"Walking On Thin Ice" on Season of Glass (1981).
Context: I gave you my life, you gave me my life.
Like a gush of wind in my hair.
Why do we forget what's been said
And play the game of life with our hearts?
“Moth: I gave you my life.
Flame: I allowed you to kiss me.”
