Private Lyrics - Carly Simon

(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
