 A Secret Life » Lyrics [+ Lisätä +] |
1. _ The Wedding
"when you marry you will change,"
Said the woman to the man.
"when i marry i will change you,"
Said the woman to the man.
So they married and were happy.
They were happy for a time,
Still they thought about each other
All the time.
"when i marry i will be you,"
Said the woman to the man.
"when you marry you'll be someone,"
Said the woman to the man.
So they married and were someone.
They were someone for a time,
Still they thought about each other
All the time.
"when you leave me you'll be sorry,"
Said the woman to the man.
"when you leave me i will haunt you,"
Said the woman to the man.
So he left her and was haunted.
They were haunted for a time,
Still they thought about each other
All the time.
"when i left him i was happy,"
Said the woman to the child.
"when i left him i was happy,"
Said the woman to her child.
So i left him and was happy,
I was happy with his child.
"you won't know him when you meet him,"
Said the woman to the child.
"you won't know him if you meet him,"
Said the woman to the child.
But he met him and said, "father,
You were father for a time,
I just wondered who you were in my mind."
"well, i told you he's your father,"
Said the woman to the child.
"well, i knew it, you would love him,"
Said the woman to her child.
And i loved him and i loved him
And was happy with our child.
What was it that made you
Treat us so unkind ?
"what's the problem, why 're you crying ?"
Said the woman to the man.
"he's your father, he's your father,"
Said the woman to her son.
"he's the problem, he's my father,
He was father for a time."
"when i die i'll be with him,"
Said the woman to her son.
"when i die you'll forgive me,"
Said the woman to the man.
So she did and was buried,
Buried with him for all time.
"when i love you we will marry,"
Said the woman to the man,
"and our children will have children,"
Said the woman to the man.
So they married and had children,
They had children for all time.

2. _ Flaming September
The summer dying
September lives in flames.
The sisters dancing
No happy ending to the game.
Don't bother to call me
Think i'll stay here just the same.
Flaming september
What can you give me that is true ?
Do you remember
Do you remember
Do you remember
All the life i gave to you ?
The summer dying
September lives in flames.
My youth lies bruised and broken
No happy ending to the game.
Don't bother to tell me
I'll live on here just the same.
Flaming september
What can you show me that is new ?
My heart remembers
Do you remember
Do you remember
All the life i gave to you ?
Flaming september
What can you show me that is true ?
My heart remembers
Do you remember
Do you remember
All the life i gave
To you ?
Flaming september.
Flaming september.

3. _ Losing
You know i see you when you're sleeping
When you're all insane with dreaming.
I can tell you that you been fighting, baby,
But you been losing.
You know there's clearer ways of thinking
And there's quicker ways of dying
But i'm a sucker for your drinking
And now, i'm losing.
I don't know who you think you're cheating
Or with whom you have been sleeping,
But all the shit that you've been eating
Says you're losing.
When i let my hate pervert me
And there's no more tears for crying
I'll just kill you if you hurt me,
I'll kill you.
You know i see you when you're sleeping,
When you're all insane with dreaming.
I can tell you that you been fighting, baby,
Fighting hard and losing.
Fighting hard ... and losing.
Fighting hard ... fighting hard ... losing.

4. _ Bored By Dreams
Things are never what they seem
Play a part most of the time.
What is yours cannot be mine
And i'm bored by dreams.
Bored by dreams.
I can't say the words i mean
Make myself go through the line.
Does the payment fit the crime
If i'm bored by dreams ?
Take me through the steps my love,
Shall we dance again ?
I was older then,
Now we are the same.

5. _ She
She lives alone with no one
Who can see she's unhappy.
She knows what she lost,
Still she is waiting for more.
She could be living in hell
And not know someone loves her.
What can she do,
What is she waiting for ?
The day turns to night
He just can't find the right words to tell her
Twisting and turning and looking for
Something to say.
If you would let me hold you
I wouldn't walk away
That's what he wants,
That's what he wants to say.
What can she lose,
What is she waiting for ?
He knows when she cries
And he saw through the lies that she told him.
She's dreaming and planning
Of how she could ask him to stay.
If you would let me love you,
I wouldn't be the same.
Please can we try,
Please can we try again ?

6. _ Epilogue
Our revels now our ended,
These are actors, as i foretold you,
Were all spirits, and are melted into air,
Into thin air.
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself.
Yea, all which it inherit shall dissolve,
And like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind.
We are such stuff as dreams are made of
And our little life is rounded
With a sleep.

7. _ Sleep
It is safe to sleep alone
In a place no one knows
And to seek life under stones
In a place water flows.
It is best to find in sleep
The missing pieces that you lost
Best that you refuse to weep
Ash to ash, dust to dust.
It is strange to sleep alone
In a place no one knows
Strange to shelter under stones
In a place water flows.
It is safe to walk with me
Where you can read the sky and stars,
Safe to walk upon the sea
In my sleep we can go far.
It is safe to sleep alone
In a place no one knows
And to shelter under stones
In a place water flows.
It is strange to sleep alone
In a place no one goes,
Strange to seek life under stones.
In my sleep no one knows.

8. _ Prologue
Midway, this way of life we're bound upon
I woke to find myself in a dark wood,
Where the right road was wholly lost, and gone.
Aye me, how hard to speak of it,
That rude and rough and stubborn forest,
The mere breath of memory stirs the old fear in the blood.
But when, at last, i stood beneath a steep hillside,
Which closed that valley's wandering maze,
Whose dread had pierced me to the heart root deep.
Then i looked up, and saw the morning rays
Mantle its shoulder from that planet bright,
Which guides men's feet aright,
On all their ways.

9. _ The Stars Line Up
The stars line up
The stars line up for me tonight
The stars line up
The stars line up tonight to see
To see who we are, baby,
And write our names
High up inside the sky.
The stars line up
The stars line up for me tonight
The stars line up
The stars line up tonight to see
To see what we know, baby,
And write our names
High up inside the sky.
I lined them up for you
The time is clear
What else is there to do ?
The stars line up
The stars line up for us tonight
The stars line up
The stars line up tonight to see
To see who we are, baby.
Let's write our names
High up inside the sky.
I hope you know
I hope you know the way i feel
I want you so.
I hope you know the way i feel
I feel about you, baby.
Let's write our names
High up inside the sky.

10. _ Love In The Afternoon
It's getting dark outside
Daytime is done.
The lights along the river come up
One by one.
Let's make love again
We got time.
I am yours
You are mine.
It's getting dark outside
I have to go.
Don't want my husband
Or my friends to know.
Zip up my dress ...
I can't find my shoes.
Don't fall in love with me
Too much to lose.
The kids are home by now
Have to think fast.
I really think this afternoon
Must be the last.
Don't say anything,
Don't turn on the light.
Thanks for loving me,
Call you tonight.
