tell me

sleepless




Sing it now and sing it clear, tell me from within
who and what you want to be, what’s your secret sin?
a poet writing love songs, from the bottom of the sea?
a singer singing sadly, a song of you and me?
will you sing of love gone mad, and cry the night away?
or will you tell of love you had one long forgotten day?
will you pen a poem of your love that never dies?
or will you whisper close to me and stir my pool of sighs?
will you dance to music and place away your fears?
or will you play a melody that moves my soul to tears?
sing it now and sing it clear, tell me from within
who and what you want to be, what’s your secret sin?
will you dance to music that flows like honey from the jar?
and fills the air with sweetness like the sweetness that you are
or will you build a castle and lock yourself inside?
then cloak your heart in loneliness close your eyes and hide?
so sing it now and sing it clear, tell me from within
who and what you want to be, what’s your secret sin?
