private conversation - henry krieger lyrics

Loading...

[terry]
an obvious connection
i tried so hard to hide
couldn’t even say it to myself

an obvious connection
i tried to push aside
into a corner on the darkest shelf

we’ll never be alone
and my feelings can’t be shown
so i try to imagine and replay
all the things i’ll never get to say

you’re wrapped up with another
tangled and entwined
i invent a separation
in the private conversation in my mind

i resolve to say it all
then i hem and haw and stall
for how could i come clean or confide
someone else is always at your side

i want
i want
i want to tell you

i want
i want
to get you alone

i need
i need
i need to tell you
i want you for my own

if we could steal a moment
would you be so inclined
to accept an invitation
to the private conversation in my mind

[daisy appears, alone]

[daisy]
what do you want to say to me, terry?
tell me, this is your chance
what do you need to say to me, terry?
does it concern romance?

here i am
all alone
yours to take

smooth me out
calm me down
stop the ache

don’t hold back
don’t hold off
hold me tight

don’t object
let’s connect
let’s unite

[terry]
but you can’t lose your shadow
that tie you can’t unbind

[daisy]
you’ve made us all alone now

[terry]
all alone, but only in my mind

[daisy]
a mind is very private
we often meet in mine
let me show you what we do there
the way we kiss
the way we intertwine

i want
i want
i want to show you

[terry]
show me what?

[daisy]
i want to show you desire
the heat
the flames

[terry]
i’m burning for you

[daisy]
i know you are on fire

why not be bold?
i’m crazy about you
i say it with every glance
my arms are cold and lazy without you
come on, why don’t we dance?

[they dance. finally, they kiss.]

[terry]
i want
i want
i want to keep you

[daisy]
keep me where?

[violet appears]

[terry]
i want you all for my own
my own
my own

[daisy, breaking away from him]
you have to share me

[terry]
oh no, i want you alone

[daisy joins violet, and they disappear.]

[terry]
i imagine us so well
how you’d dance and taste and smell
i can imagine me with you
but i don’t have the guts to follow through

you’re one half of a couple
that’s how you are defined
and my only consolation
is the private conversation in my mind
