Lyrics

No One Need Know

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well, surely there's time to deal another hand

You can turn off the lights if you need.

I'm curious to know if we could still dance

With that elaborate pain in our knees

And surely there's a will to cut off these ropes

That bound us like prisoners between

The curious ghosts and the fearless hopes

We might have to get close to cut free

And no one need know

No one need know

No one need know but me

Surely you know the hand's not at fault

And the beast is not always best tamed.

We both learned so young how to spill too much salt

Through the wounds of this elaborate game

And no one need know

No one need know

No one need know but me

What have we got to lose if

We have nothing at all?

Nothing at all.

You hold onto your bruises

Way past the fall.

Don't get off the train

I'm not here to complain

I wouldn't change you at all

There's too much to learn

But I think it's your turn

So when you're ready

You can come over slow

We'll dance 'til we don't

And no one need know but me.

Oh, come over slow

We'll watch it unfold

And no one need know but me

No, no, no, no, no

No one need know but me

No one need know

No one need know

No one need know but me

So come over slow

Come over slow

And no one need know but me.

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go.

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go.

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go
