Will I Tell You a Secret Songtext
von Belle and Sebastian

Well, I tell you a secret I′ve been hiding?
Spending a night here without you
In pursuit of a piece 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, while hunters thinking
Of a kid that never cried

In the night, she gets a fright
She dreams of all her friends
No one 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, a man to see
But my albatross has flown

In the night, she gets a fright
She dreams her friends have gone
No one 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
