The Secret's In The Telling

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

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

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

Your name is pounding through my veins
Can't you hear how it is sung?

Before the words escape my lungs
And I'll whisper only once...

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
