The Secret's in the Telling (Re-Record)

The signal is subtle

We pass just close enough to touch

No questions, no answers

We know by now to say enough

With only simple words

With only subtle turns

The things we feel alone for one another

There is a secret that we keep, I won't sleep if you won't sleep

Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

We are compelled to do what we must do

We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight

Our act of defiance

We keep this secret in our blood

No paper or letters

We pass just close enough to touch

We love in secret names

We hide within our veins

The things that keep us bound to one another

There is a secret that we keep, I won't sleep if you won't sleep

Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

We are compelled to do what we must do

We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

Until the last resilient hope

Is frozen deep inside my bones

And this broken fate has claimed me

And my memories for its own

Your name is pounding through my veins

Can't you hear how it is sung?

And I can taste you in my mouth

Before the words escape my lungs

And I'll whisper only once

There is a secret that we keep, I won't sleep if you won't sleep

Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

We are compelled to do what we have to

We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

'Cause you will be somebody's girl

And you will keep each other warm

But tonight I am feeling cold
