Hush ... now

Don't breathe a word
hush now
my love
let the bitter night
carry you to my dreams
A hundred beats per minute
mine seems to beat with time
A second for every tick
the lingering fate
of a lonely hearts crime
hush now
my sweet love
your secret is kept
deep within my walls
safe
oh so safe
and when you softly
whisper my name
you'll find my secret
is just the same
