This is a woman I do not know
If she hurts, it does not show
If she cries, she does not seem to know
That the pain will go, the pain will go
Her heart has many secrets now
The kind that she may never allow
Me to know, or me to see
But I cheated
I took a peek
I know that it was wrong to do
But sometimes sister
I want to know you
But know that no matter what I know
I love you darling
I love you so

It doesn't snow anymore
Everything loses its sparkle
Under a sun that stings your eyes
And blinds you
But refuses to keep you warm
The frost retreats to the shadows
Like a convict on the run
And we'd join it
But we're chilled to the bone
And the cold sun sits
Upon its throne
We're trapped in an urban ice age
And we groan
And we moan

And she dreamed of lips meeting
But her sweet hopes keep fleeting
And it doesn't mean anything
If he won't have to know
It's not real if its hidden
It's not love when forbidden
And if I keep sinning
I'll make sure he won't know
So I'll keep this a secret
He does not have to know
I'm beginning my descent
*He does not have to know

I twist apple stems
And stay up for stars
Pick dandelions
And guess colors of cars

I watch the clock
It's eleven pm
But I can't find out your feelings
From a snapped apple stem
