Save a Secret for the Moon
[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt]
I know all the names of your tears
The numbers of those lonely years
I know all the "someone someday"s
Don't believe them anyway
[Chorus]
When you love someone
You can always tell the sun
It will be twilight soon
Save a secret for the moon
In a darkened room
Write it on a black balloon
Then watch it fade from view
Save a secret for the moon
[Verse 2]
I can show you sadder poetry
Than you ever dreamed there could be
I know all the saddest people
Most of them are dead now
[Chorus]
When you love someone
You can always tell the sun
It will be twilight soon
Save a secret for the moon
In a darkened room
Write it on a black balloon
Then watch it fade from view
Save a secret for the moon
[Chorus]
When you love someone
You can always tell the sun
It will be twilight soon
Save a secret for the moon
In a darkened room
Write it on a black balloon
Then watch it fade from view
Save a secret for the moon
