Private

Private - Carly Simon

Written by：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 keep silent

Heres a little something that the wizard said

You can kiss

But never tell

All the wisdom you need

You'll be needing some

Can be heard in the mouth of a seashell

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 keep silent

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 keep silent

Just the wide grey sky

And the hunchback moon

Gonna 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 theres braggin

If you break speak and call me your lover

I'll lie

I swear i'll lie

And it will all be over
