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
