Private

Lyrics

(Carly Simon)
 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'd a little something that the wizard said:
 'You can kiss, but never tell
 All the wisdom you need
 And you'il 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'l lie, I swear, I'll lie, and it will all be over
