Come on it's time to go upstairs But I don't want to be leaving you here I can't go be in that room alone When I know that you're down here in tears I'm not asking "forever" from you I'm just asking to be held for awhile In a timeless search for love that might work We're already paying the price But you need some rest My darling, it's best But we've already passed it, I cried Ooh, eeh Listen to me My secret love secretly Died Come on it's time to go outside 'Cause I don't want to be leaving you here I can't go be in that world alone When I know that you're down here in tears I am not asking salvation from you I'm just asking to be saved for awhile In a timeless search for love that might work Still we're already paying the price But you need some rest Darling, it's best But we've already passed it, I cried Ooh, eeh Listen to me My secret love secretly Died Oh, you need some rest Oh, you need some rest My darling, it's best Ooh My secret love secretly Secretly died
