don't tell secrets

don't tell secrets

don't tell secrets

don't tell why we hide

in the dim lights and the wine

and your secret is buried next to mine

in the midst of strangers

in the midst of strangers

we dance

embrace and bind our promises

while the singer makes our hearts break one more time

oh you're in this shantytown

of tin and tumble-down

but a man might be or a man might lack

a weight arises on his back

and our love the shame of all your hands possess

oh you sewed a hundred patches on your dress

but don't tell secrets

don't tell secrets

raise your eyes to mine

as the bell rings closing time

and your secret is buried next to mine

oh darling how we cheat

to make the moment sweet

outside this room the world still waits

you with your mansion with gilded gates

and me with my companies and regiments

i wear you like a stone upon my chest

so don't tell secrets

don't tell secrets

don't tell why we hide

in the dim lights and the wine

and your secret is buried next to mine

don't tell secrets

don't tell secrets
