When Lovers Hide The Keys

lyrics

WHEN LOVERS HIDE THE KEYS
(1994)

My arm went round her waist and hip
She never said me nay
But when I sought her cheek and lip
She turned her face away

My love has gone I know not where
O, let me follow you
And if I am not welcome there
I know not what to do

Nor bar nor bolt nor cruel clock
Can so destroy a lover’s ease
As minds that close and hearts that lock
When lovers hide the keys
