The Magnetic Fields - Save a Secret for the Moon lyrics

rate me

i know all the names of your tears

and numbers of these lonely years

i know all the someones somedays

don't believe them anyway

when you love someone

you can't always tell the sun

it will be twilight soon

save a secret moon

in a darkened room

write it on a black balloon

then watch it fade from view

save a secret for the moon

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

when you love someone

you can't always tell the sun

it will be twilight soon

save a secret moon

in a darkened room

write it on a black balloon

then watch it fade from view

save a secret for the moon
