(Carly Simon)

[Chorus:]
|
Can you be private when the juice is sweet
|
And the secret is crimson
|
Can you be quiet when my hands are heat
|
And the riptide rises?
|
|
Can you be blind and a beggar on your knees?
|
And live on our desire alone
|
Can you ride the tide in this insanity
|
And still keep as still as the shadows?
|
|
When the cry is so wide on the inside
|
When the truth jumps quick to the heart
|
When the wind or the stars are violent
|
Can you be silent?
|
|
Here's a little something that the wizard said:
|
"You can kiss, but never tell
|
All the wisdom you need
|
And you'll be needing some
|
Can be heard in the mouth of a seashell"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Just the wide grey sky
|
And the hunchback moon
|
Will keep our memories
|
Not a living soul will remember us
|
This is just for you and me
|
|
'Cause if you;re out with the boys one night
|
If you;re out with the boys and there's braggin'
|
If you break, speak and call me your lover,
|
I'll lie, I swear, I'll lie, and it will all be over
|
