Up in the Dark Lyrics
It's no secret why we're here
You can't keep me from it
In another moonless minute
It's open wide
You have secrets from them
You have secrets, but they're spent
All that kept the lights on when
The power went
What's love, what's love, what's love
But what turns up in the dark?
What's love, what's love, what's love
But what turns up in the dark?
What turns up in the dark, what turns up in the dark?
You can't seek them in it
It gets weaker, watch it go
Wrap yourself around me in
The shadow show
You have secrets, told them
They were the weakest ones we heard
Only when the lights were killed
They sang that verse
What's love, what's love, what's love
But what turns up in the dark?
What's love, what's love, what's love
But what turns up in the dark?
What turns up in the dark, what turns up in the dark?
You can't keep me from it
In another moonless minute
It's open wide
You have secrets, but they're spent
All that kept the lights on when
The power went
But what turns up in the dark?
But what turns up in the dark?
It gets weaker, watch it go
Wrap yourself around me in
The shadow show
They were the weakest ones we heard
Only when the lights were killed
They sang that verse
But what turns up in the dark?
But what turns up in the dark?

About intimacy and honesty in romance. What is love but what you say in the dark when you are alone with your partner?
I used to hear "Only when the lights were killed they sang like birds" But that's not what it is.
I choose to believe its "sang like birds". I thing there both cool and either fits well though.
