Tell me a secret
and I’ll tell you one.
Just a whisper would be fine.
It’s too hard to keep it quiet.
It’s too hard to deny it because
you’re as cute as a kitten.
My dear, are you smitten?
I can see it in your smile.
We don’t need it all.
It’s simple to do.
We could run away,
just me and you.
Keep it to ourselves.
I see it in my sleep.
Cuddle as close to me as you can,
and tell me a secret.
It ain't hard to hide the signs.
I can be the king of telling lies, so
let me take you off to my sweet counterfeit kingdom.
And I hope to find you outside like a redwood tree,
growing tall, and strong, and wild, I wanna climb up where no one else can see.
Oh, take me down in the grass,
in those arms, on our backs,
bones to bones, my best friend,
I crave the shock within your kiss.
Tell me a secret,
no one has to know.
We can keep it all,
if we keep it low.
Everything Katie Dill does is absolutely incredible. Her writing is phenomenal and her arrangements of folk tunes are some of the best I've heard. Haunting, experimental, and beautiful. Andrew Preston
