The staring faces and cutting wind
Blew down the Underground and made the autumn leaves spin
I found colour in those unbeautiful things
That’s when I found she’d cut me to the quick
I kept my love a secret, I dreamt her face close to mine
It's a secret, I planted it and watered it with cheap wine
She breezed up to me, she touched my hair
I watched my mouth and went to the foot of our stairs
She knows where to find me, it’s easy it’s true
I’ve been going round in circles
Since I fell apart with you
I kept my love a secret, I dreamt her face close to mine
It's a secret, I planted it and watered it with cheap wine
Kept my love a secret
There's a secret deep inside
She wouldn't have to worry about breaking my heart
I know it won't break any more times
Which is why… it's a secret
I dreamt her face close to mine
It's a secret, I planted it and watered it with cheap wine
I kept my love a secret
I hid my love…
