Save A Secret For The Moon Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

I know all the names of your tears 

And numbers of these lonely years 

I know all the someones some days 

Dont believe them anyway 

When you love someone 

You cant 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 cant 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
