I don't think MissCharlotte is entirely right here. I think the "hands are cold your ice are fire" line represents the issues Billy and Christie were having at the time. This was written as they were breaking up. Her hands were cold because she was distant yes but her eyes being fire shows that she was mad. There was a fire inside her. She was angry at him.
He was pleading with her in the song that he needs her. Just one word. And she wont give it to him. In the darkness he could see her light in all this craziness that was going on around him but he wasn't allowed in.
