Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Secret he carries al these years he tried
To barry you swallow you
Left him blind for sorrow and disaster
How long he′s tried
Keeping me awake at night
Dreamy days are over
He will be upright
Come inside secret we want you
To want him right on time
We wake at night
Dreamy nights are over
We will be allright
To carry it years to come
Come inside
Secret we want you
To want us right on time
Never mind the words we tell you
Just keep them inside
Barry it swallow
It stays alive till all of us will forget it
How long we've tried
We′ve tried
We try and wake at night
Now dreamy days are over
We'll be upright to carry it years to come
Come inside secret we want you to want us right on time
Dig a hole down deep
For these words you'll keep
A secret a life forget about it
We tried to dig a hole

For this secret you will keep
So long ago this lie forget about it
Oh yeah we tried
We wake at night

We′ll be upright and carry it swallow it
We′ll stay alive till all of us forget it
One us on time on time
We do wake at night
Now dreamy days are over
We'll be upright and carry it swallow it
We′ll stay alive till all of us forget it
One us on time
One us on time

Echt vreemd dat Reymer zo onder de radar blijft. Fantastische muziek.
@dewitbert1022
Topnummer en wat een fantastische stem.
@rosztun
Favoriete nummer op Radio 1 de laatste weken, doet me denken aan de zangstem van Beth Gibbon (begin vooral) en tegen het einde wat PJ Harvey deed op haar laatste tournee (meerstemmige zang). Echt een oorwurm!
