Will I Tell You A Secret

Will I tell you a secret I've been hiding?
Spending the night here without you
In pursuit of a peace I selfishly long for, baby
A piece of something new
We were happy until we said tomorrow
We were happy until we looked ahead
And the soul of a baby missed will haunt us
Thinking of a kid that never cried

In the night, she gets a fright
She dreams of all her friends
No one's spared, the dream has cared
For everyone she has forgotten

It's a funny old time to be a lover
An easier time to be a friend
With one arm behind my back, I'll heal you, darling
A good love, I will send

You were my lover and you were my mother
You were my sister when the ship went down
The world is killing me, I'm out to sea
But my albatross has flown

In the night, she gets a fright
She dreams her friends have gone
No one's spared, the dream has cared
For everyone she has forgotten

Now I'm looking at rain outside my window
A tower of hard-fought solitude
All the life of the world is elsewhere
Blood and intimacy
Warm and still in love (warm and still in love)
We were warm and still in love (warm and still in love)
We were warm and still in love
