You moved like honey in my dream last night,

Yeah, some old fires were burning.
You came near to me and you endeared to me
But you couldnt quite discern me.

Does that scare you? I'll let you run away
But your heart will not oblige you.
You'll remember me like a melody,
Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you.

And my big secret - gonna win you over
Slow like honey, heavy with mood -

I'll let you see me, I'll covet your regard,
I'll invade your demeanor,
And you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze,
And you'll wonder what it is about me.

Its my big secret - keeping you coming,
Slow like honey, heavy with mood.

Though dreams can be deceiving,
Like faces are to hearts,
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart.

So I stretch myself across, like a bridge,
And I pull you to the edge,
And stand there waiting,
Trying to attain
The end to satisfy the story.
Shall I release you?
Must I release you
As I rise to meet my glory?

But my big secret
Gonna hover over your life,
Gonna keep you reaching,
When I'm gone like yesterday,
When I'm high like heaven,
When I'm strong like music,
'Cause I'm slow like honey, and
Heavy with mood
