What a Fire

What a fire burns on, O confidante,
What a fire it is!
My eyes are filled with tears, O confidante
What a fire burns in my heart!

I went callous crazy, not forsaking the body,
on this moonface fell the shadow of my eclipsed love.
my heart swells up with waves of seven seas
What a fire bums on, what a fire it is!

Diary

Verse 1:
Lay your
Head on my pillow
Here you can be yourself
No one has to know what u are feeling
No one but me and you
Chorus:
I won't tell your secrets
Your secrets
Are safe with me
I will keep your secrets
Just think of me as the pages in your diary
Verse 2:
I feel
Such a connection
Even when your far away
If there is anything that you fear
Call 4.8.9. 46.0.8
And i'll be here
Chorus:
I wont tell your secrets
Your secrets
Are safe with me
I will keep your secrets
Just think of me as the pages in your diary
Bridge:
And only we know what is talked about
Baby boy
I don't know how you can be driving me so crazy
Boy
When you're in town
Why dont you come around
Boy
I'll be the loyalty you need
You can trust me
Boy
oooh
Chorus:
I wont tell your secrets
Your secrets
Are safe with me
I will keep your secrets
Just think of me as the pages in your diary

I won't tell

I won't tell
Your secrets, your secrets
break it down
(I won't tell)

No Secrets

(carly simon)
We have no secrets
We tell each other everything
About the lovers in the past
And why they didn't last
We share a cast of characters from a to z
We know each others fantasies
And though we know each other better when we explore
Sometimes i wish
Often i wish
That i never knew some of those secrets of yours
The water was cold
The beach was empty but for one
Now you were lying in the sun
Wanting and needing no-one
Then some child came, you never asked for her to come
She drank a pint of your rum
And later when you told me
You aid she was a bore
Sometimes i wish
Often i wish
That i never knew some of those secrets of yours
In the name of honesty, in the name of what is fair
You always answer my questions
But they don't always answer my prayers
And though i know you say that it's me that you adore
Sometimes i wish
Often i wish
That i never, never, never knew
Some of those secrets of yours
Some of those secrets of yours
Some of those secrets of yours
We have no secrets
Telling each other most everything now

We have no secrets
We tell each other everything
About the lovers in our past
And why they didn't last
We share a cast of characters from

We know each other's fantasies
And though we know each other better

Sometimes I wish
Often I wish

Now you were lying in the sun
Wanting and needing no one
Then some child came, you never

She drank a pint of your rum
And later when you told me
You said she was a bore
Sometimes I wish
Oft times I wish
That I never, never knew
Some of those secrets of yours
In the name of honesty, in the name
of what is fair
You always answer my questions
but they don't always answer my
prayers
And though I know you say that it's
me that you adore
Sometimes I wish
Often I wish
That I never, never, never knew
Some of those secrets of yours
Some of those secrets of yours
Some of those secrets of yours
We have no secrets

Secrets of passion

Shivers and cries
Secrets of passion
Kisses you and lies
Secrets of passion
Floats you even higher
Secrets of passion
Crashes you into a pit o' fire
Secrets of passion
You feel deffered
Secrets of passion
Please...
Just die in vain.

Whispering

Written by gerry beckley, 1998
Found on human nature.
I hear you in my sleep
Ive fallen in too deep
Sometimes its hard to keep
Secrets, secrets
Its like a breath of air
I feel it everywhere
And still I cant declare
Secrets, secrets
Gotta keep whispering on the phone at night
Gotta keep whispering, gotta get it right
Gotta keep whispering til the morning light
Secrets, secrets
I need you by my side
Cant say I havent tried
Sometimes its hard to hide
Secrets, secrets
Gotta keep whispering on the phone at night
Gotta keep whispering, gotta get it right
Gotta keep whispering til the morning light
Secrets, secrets
Gotta keep whispering on the phone at night
Gotta keep whispering, gotta get it right
Gotta keep whispering til the morning light
Secrets, secrets
Secrets, secrets
Gotta keep whispering on the phone at night
Gotta keep whispering, gotta get it right
Gotta keep whispering til the morning light
Secrets, secrets
Gotta keep whispering on the phone at night
Gotta keep whispering, gotta get it right
Gotta keep whispering til the morning light
Secrets, secrets
Gotta keep whispering on the phone at night
Gotta keep whispering, gotta get it right
Gotta keep whispering til the morning light

Secrets 2

And this secret is a humdinger.
This secret is an anaconda. It is the Great American Secret.
All other secrets beside it would seem trifles-
would be shamed back into their coops;
this is a secret of the most delicate sort
concerning as it does a certain person from the Bourse
(a junior vice-president for the firm of Valentino
who is generally acknowleged a non-pareil)
in relative standing to a friend of our dear friend Larry
A secret of treble import and viral ongoingness.
guarded still, but for the solvent of strong drink
and confided me by Carl-his be the shame.
This secret bothers me now-
Barks, bays, rattles its chain,
Paces, ticks the bars with its tin, making itself a nuisance, wanting out.
insisting itself innocent.
Can the secret be blamelessly outed
in the eyes of, say, Fate?

I recall now once having read
in I forget which codex anticus
the sanctioned conditions, strict extenuations,
purifications, dispensations,
rites obscure and rubric byzantine, etcetera,
which can exonerate the teller
forced into a secret's needful disclosure:
conditions manifold and arcane,
pertaining to all secrets,
which may be essentially all
boiled down to three types
according to their natures.

First, secrets of State...

Promised to Be Kept To Keep

Secrets...
That are kept,
Are secrets...
That may be wept.
To leave one with nights,
Unslept without rest.
Although promised to be kept to keep.

And secrets...
Left,
In a protectiveness...
Never regretted to forget,
Are kept secrets...
Wept.
One wishes to have ever met.

Closet Man

(foster / mercury / gerrard)
Your secrets safe inside me
Closet man
Safe under lock and key
Understand
What youre thinkin is important
Isnt really so, youll see
But your secrets absolutely safe with me
Your lovers songs and nights
Turn into tears
Your tattoos and your muscles
Disappear
And the ring that I once gave you
Now, youre wearin in your ear
But your secrets absolutely safe my dear
Oh, your secrets safe with me
Oh, your secrets safe right here with me
Oh, your secrets safe with me
Oh, your secrets safe right here with me
You know, its all right to go on and live your life
So, come out into the light
Closet man
Theres nothing new at all under the sun
Youve got company
Youre not the only one
Why, its older than religion
And, quite honestly, more fun
But your secrets absolutely safe my dear, dont worry
Oh, your secrets safe with me
Oh, your secrets safe right here with me
Oh, your secrets safe with me
Oh, your secrets safe right here with me
You know, its all right to go on and live your life
So, come out into the light
Closet man, yeah
You know, its all right to go on and live your life
So, come out into the light
Closet man
You know, its all right to go on and live your life
So, come out into the light
Closet man

Secret

Secrets are good,
Secrets are bad,
I have a secret,
It may make you sad.

Secrets deep,
Secrets shallow,
It may be hard,
To swallow.

Secrets heavy,
Secrets light,
This is to be told,
At night.

Secrets kept,
Secrets told,
This secret,
Is very old.

Secrets of love,
Secrets of hate,
This secret,
Is great.

Secret love,
Secret hate,
My secret,
Is who,
I love.

A guy so sweet,
A guy so great.
A guy so fun,
A guy so nice.

This guy is different,
This guy is a dove.
This is the guy,
Who I love.

Different is great,
Different is sweet,
No one knows us,
So it's great.

This guy is lonely,
This guy is friendless.
I like him,
And he likes me.

No one talks to him,
No one talks to me.
We are the same,
We are different.

He doesn't know,
That I love him,
Cause he knows,
We're the same.

I've no love,
He's caught a dove.
He's had no love,
He taught me how to catch a dove.

He's tall and smart,
He's sweet and friendly,
He's nice and fun,
He's the sun.

I have a secret,
One that's free like a dove,
I have a secret,
That's all about love...

The One

So long entrusted by virtue,
Fashioned by a dying star,
In the factory of a legendary,
He maintained the name,
And so shall I,
Yes I mourn my father,
Yet my life I celebrate,
You cant walk in my shoes,
I am the one

So long entrusted by supremacy,
Fashioned by a shinning star,
In the factory of nobility,
She maintained the modesty,
And so shall I,
Yes I celebrate my mother's life,
Yet my life I fashion,
You cant step in my pants,
I am the one

Love To Hide

What, if at all, I would love to hide?
Secrets to self and everything to confide
From the start of sunshine to end of the day
I plan the activities unknown to all in different way

People say I have snake’s charm
Not dangerous but value of little harm
Net letting opponent to judge the move
Even if wrong but very difficult to prove

“Whole world goes mad at me ” my friend confided
“It is unintentional and without purpose” I retorted
Still he struck to his gun and almost nailed
I laughed at it out and did not give any tail

I may have strong ways to counter deception
As no one can attempt and get away with repetition
I have third sense, in fact everybody may have, to use
Make any more attempt redundant and defuse

I will not hide displeasure to be conveyed
I may have little surprise to be dismayed
Yet you go to trust someone for practical purpose
As not all the jobs can be handled practically to dispose

It may be advantageous to hold back secrets
As it may be of no use for others to bet
They may still have anxiety to know
Criticize the move and painfully blow

It pinches a lot when some one points out
Lowers the image and unwontedly talks about
This sprays salt in aggravated wound
The solace or comfort is no where found

I decided to hold back all cards
Whether it helps me or not to go forward
I will know for sure that it has best efforts
The ship needs to be anchored successfully at port

My most intimate secrets? Well, if I told you those they wouldn't be secrets now, would they? Seriously though I don't have too many secrets. I'm a very open and honest person, sometimes too honest for my own good.

Secrets

Written: stock aitken waterman
1a:
Still dont know how he got my number
Thought Id got him out of my life
But I agreed to see him just one time
Never thought Id fall for him twice
1b:
Ohh, youve gotta hear my confession
I believe its long overdue
I cant think of living without you
Id understand if thats what youd wanna do
Chorus:
There are
Secrets that you never know
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
2:
Never wanted to hurt you
Didnt really want to deceive
I was so afraid if I told you
Your broken heart would force you to leave
I think I knew what I was doing
By falling into his arms again
I wish Id seen right through him
But Im telling you cos Im so ashamed
Chorus:
(repeat 2 times)
1b:
Chorus:
Secrets, secrets, secrets
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Chorus:
(repeat & fade)

The secrets of life...

As I peruse the pathways of memories within my mind,
I relive it all like a wave of emotion washing over me,
Paddling in a sea of distant dreams once lived,
My dreams have made me the man that I am today,
Yet I seek more, I yearn to know the secrets of life it's self,
To look into the eye of existance and say, 'I know you! '
The secrets of life tempt and torture me daily,
For these secrets have never been set in stone,
Open your heart and life's secrets shall be revealed...

Spread the love... The peace will follow...

The Sea Holds Many Secrets

The sea holds many secrets
in sleeping ship that lie below.
For centuries, thousands of ships and men
have met a watery grave.
Some have been lost to storms
that seem to come from nowhere,
while others to battles fought at sea.
Whatever reason they went down
their secrets went with them.
Now the sea holds many secrets
and is reluctant to let go of them.

Secrets.

No matter how open our lives
we have secrets inside our head.
Secret fears, loves, hopes and desires
we hide them in our mind
never to be revealed.
Secrets we keep only to ourselves
some are imaginary,
some are very real
only we know which is which,
but none will be revealed.
They are our secrets
and only ours to keep.

Secrets

Soothing and seductive this siren needs a home, so she takes yours
Enemies easily enter the walls that hold, your gardens and courts
Cunning as a fox, chaos ensues with the whip of a tongue
Remorseless reasons reassure what’s been done
Everything begins with an inescapable end that's to come
The art of love and war are fought as one and the same
Secrets sold and secrets stolen are still secrets in deed and aim
