Ours was a friendship in secret
Ours was a friendship in secret, my dear,
Stolen from fate.
I must be secret still, show myself calm
Early and late.
'Isn't it sad he was killed!' I must hear
With a smooth face.
'Yes, it is sad.' — Oh, my darling, my own,
My heart of grace.

Beautiful Darling of My Secret Heart
Beautiful darling of my secret heart;
Secret of secrets, held apart-
Under lock and key, a whole world wrought:
Beautiful darling of my secret heart.
Beautiful darling of another place;
There’s secret longing in your silent face-
Half in hiding, like unfinished thought:
Beautiful darling of another place.
Beautiful giver of beautiful songs;
Songs sung in secret, all night long-
A candle'd altar, quiescent flame:
Beautiful darling- I can’t speak your name.

Secret Heart
Thanks to [email protected] for these lyrics.
Secret heart what are you made of?
What are you so afraid of?
Could it be three simple words
Or the fear of being overheard
What's wrong?
Let her in on your secret heart
Secret heart, why so mysterious?
Why so secret, why so serious?
Maybe you're just acting tough
Maybe you're just not bad enough
What's wrong?
Let her in on your secret heart
(Bridge) 2x
This very secret you're trying to conceal
Is the very same one you're dying to reveal
Go tell her how you feel
Secret heart come out and share it
This loneliness, few can bear it
Could it have something to do with
Admitting that you just can't
Go through it alone?
Let her in on your secret heart
Let her in on your secret heart

The Fly
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon}
Y' know I don't see you when she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell another person
So I'm telling you... child
Low Voice:
A man will beg
A man will craw
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal

To Sydney
CITY, I never told you yet—
O little City, let me tell—
A secret woven of your wiles,
Dear City with the angel face,
And you will hear with frowning grace,
Or will you break in summer smiles?
This is the secret, little town,
Lying so lightly towards the sea;
City, my secret has no art,
Dear City with the golden door;
But oh, the whispers I would pour
Into your ears—into your heart!
You are my lover, little place,
Lying so sweetly all alone.
And yet I cannot, cannot tell
My secret, for the voice will break
That tries to tell of all the ache
Of this poor heart beneath your spell.
Dreaming, I tell you all my tale;
Tell how the tides that wash your feet
Sink through my heart and cut its cords.
Dreaming, I hold my arms, and drag
All, all into my heart—the flag
On the low hill turned harbourwards,
And all the curving little bays,
The hot, dust-ridden, narrow streets,
The languid turquoise of the sky,
The gardens flowing to the wave,
I drag them in. O City, save
The grave for me where I must lie.
Yet humbly I would try to build
Stone upon stone for this town’s sake;
Humbly would try for you to aid
Those whose wise love for you will rear
White monuments far off and near,
White, but unsoiled, undesecrate.

My Secret Heart
1: I look at your picture
And stare into space
I think I must know
Every line on your face
And you'll never know
The feelings I keep
Like the man in the moon
You're way out of reach
So dreams are all I have
Because we're worlds apart
All alone with my secret heart
2: I write you these letters
That I'll never send
It's crazy I know
But still I pretend
Though we've never met
Don't think I'm naive
I know you so well
Though it's all make believe
And dreams are all I have
Because you're far away
All alone with my secret heart
All alone with my secret heart
3: I must have held your hand
A thousand times
And felt your heart was beating
Next to mine
Even though it's just a lie
There are no tears in my eyes
If your picture could speak to me
What would you say
Maybe you'd just have to
Laugh in my face
And dreams would be much better
Than reality
END: All alone with my secret heart
END: (repeat and fade)

I carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Through mornings thoughts and fantasies
Then I saw your eyes at the cross fades

No Secret Friend
I have a secret friend
No it's not what you think
My friend's not a secret
Nor is the secrets he keeps
You see he keeps his heart
On the table with me
But the rest of the world
It's secrets they see
My no secret friend
wears a joker's mask
But I can see the truth
the real, the past
My no secret friend says
his intentions are true
My no secret friend says
he has feelings for me
Does my no secret friend
have secret desires
Time will tell but till then
this moment is ours

Your Secret
I don't wanna
No I'm not gonna
Cause I don't wanna
Be your secret
No I don't wanna
Cuase I'm not gonna
No I don't wanna
Be your secret
Be your secret
Just another night of lonliness
Just a night of me
Just another dream
Tell me what are we without openness
Cause she's been getting more
And I've been getting less of you build my world
Now you're tearing it down
And I'm only one girl
Won't you please come around
Cause you're here in my heart
And you're here in my head
And she's taken my pride
And my side of the bed
I don't want to be your secret
I'm not gonna kiss
If you're not gonna kiss and tell
You got me if you want to keep it
Can't keep me from the world
Can't keep me to yourself
No I'm not gonna be your secret
I am only getting half a man
If she only knew
I'd get all of you
There's a purpose behind every plan
It's written in the stars
This little thing of ours
And she is holding your heart
While I'm holding your hand
And I want so much more
Darling, please understand
That you're here in my dreams
Every night when I sleep
Just give me one dream that I can keep
I don't want to be your secret
I'm not gonna kiss
If you're not gonna kiss and tell
You got me if you want to keep it
Can't keep me from the world
Can't keep me to yourself
No I'm not gonna be your secret
Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh
Let it out, let it out to the world I'm your girl, boy
I don't want to be your secret
I'm not gonna kiss
If you're not gonna kiss and tell
You got me if you want

The Gardener XXIV: Do Not Keep to Yourself
Do not keep to yourself the secret of
your heart, my friend!
Say it to me, only to me, in secret.
You who smile so gently, softly
whisper, my heart will hear it, not my
ears.
The night is deep, the house is
silent, the birds' nests are shrouded
with sleep.
Speak to me through hesitating
tears, through faltering smiles, through
sweet shame and pain, the secret of
your heart!

Goodnight Little Darling
Goodnight,
sleep tight little darling
the angels
will soon come down
to guard you
while you sleep.
Oh, no
little darling
you need not wait
for them
because they have rules
not to enter your room
when you're awake.
And please,
don't ask me why
little darling
because I promised
to make it a secret.
Don't worry little darling
when you grow up
you will also learn about
the secret too.
So, goodnight,
sleep tight little darling
the angels
will soon be here.

The secret of the stars, -- gravitation.
The secret of the earth, -- layers of rock.

The secret of man, -- the sower.
The secret of woman, -- the soil.

A Secret Place
Theres a secret place I like to go
Everyone is there but their face dont show
If you get inside you cant get out
Theres no coming back, I hear them shout
Welcome to my hide away, my secret place
How I arrived I cant explain
Youre welcome to, if you want to stay
But everyone just runs away
Let me in, get me out
Cant do more then twist and shout
Lost my soul without a trace
Found it again in my secret place
In discrace
I hide from those that try to find me
Scary things thats right behind me
I lost myself, I must confess
I cant explain how I got this mess

My Phantom Valentine
Chocolate and roses red left at my door
With only a note to proclaim to me
The truth of this romantic holiday is that I have
A secret admirer of my poise and my beauty
One who has long sought to give to me
All of their heart and all of their soul
So as I sit here and ponder
Writing out your anonymous tale
I wonder
Oh yes, I must confess that I do wonder
My Phantom Valentine
Do tell me
Who are you?
To dance the night away
So sweetly
So very tender a embrace
In my arms
That is where and how you say that your dream of me lives
Together forever
Our souls and our hearts bound by destiny
Decreed by fate to be
One forever more
Torn apart never
I must confess that it is my secret longing too
To linger always at your side
My Phantom Valentine
All that I could ever want
All that I could ever need
In this lifetime or any other my love is you
That much I want you to know is true
Me and you
From this moment forward
I am yours
If you will be mine
All I ask of you is this
Show me
Show me that face and kiss me with those lips
Those lips and that face that belong to just one man alone
The man who is you.....

Tell Me
I think weve both been here before
There doesnt seem to be much more
My mind is shut, the door is closed
Am I alone?
Were sitting here, were eye to eye
Weve crashed into a wall so high
Fears taken us two prisoners
Can we let go?
Tell me your darkest secret, tell me
Show me what you dont want me to see
Let me in, I want to know you, hold me
Tell me your darkest secret
Ill tell you mine
We used to live for honesty
Trust was our security
Were walking down two different paths
Weve lost our way
Whats wrong with wanting everything
Dark and light and in between
What will be our saving grace?
What can we say?
Unlock the door, come inside
Theres no reason to be afraid
Just talk to me
We can hear the cry of love
It echoes deep and far above
What will be our saving grace?
What will we say?

My foolish heart
Once had a secret love

Even know each other.

My foolishness is not a secret anymore.

A Poem that Whispered its Longings
Early this morning
As usual I went on a stroll
Where whispering sands
By the soft flowing sea
Breathe sweet-nothings
Into my longing heart
The sails on the calm sea
Swayed to the gentle breeze
And the waves that seem to share
A tenderly spoken secret about you
With one another came in hurry
To the shore as if to share
The secret with me
No, they didn’t divulge!
The waves went on teasing me
The limitless sky sprawled endlessly
And the sails fluttered
Like routine butterfly wings
With little concern to the heart
That throbbed in longing
