lirik lagu rich dineen - learning to lie
the first time that i saw you
standing in the doorway
of our house in dar es salaam
with sleep in your eyes
i knew then that i loved you
i wanted to be with you
but a deep dark secret
lay inside my mind
and so i learned to lie
it was the only way to keep you in my life
and so the days went by
sitting at the poolside
of our house in dar es salaam
with nothing on our minds
playing at the beach
swimming in the ocean
that was deep, clear and blue
and glistened in the sun
so what am i to do
it’s catch 22
tell the truth and lose
or cover up and keep you hanging on
how can that be right?
the bus ride was b-mpy
as we rode across the city
to armana hospital
to see what we could learn
changing in the side room
fresh out of the womb
delivering babies
that we named as our own
and so i learned to lie
it was the only way to keep you in my life
so what am i to do
it’s catch 22
tell the truth and lose
or cover up and keep you hanging on
and what else can i say?
i’d have never seen your face again
if i’d not done
what i should not have done
the ferry ride was choppy
as we sailed across the ocean
to zanzibar
to see what we could find
swimming with dolphins
watching the sunset
making love out on the beach
under the moonlight
and so i learned to lie
it was the only way to keep you in my life
so what am i to do
it’s catch 22
tell the truth and lose
or cover up and keep you hanging on
and i’ll tell you some day
even though i’m so afraid
of what you’ll think of me and what i’ve done
but i want you to know
it’s not the end of loving
but the end of lying
the last time that i saw you
standing at the gateway
of our house in dar es salaam
with tears in your eyes
i knew then that you loved me
and i think that we could be three
while my deep dark secret
burned inside my mind
and so i learned to lie
it was the only way to keep you in my life
so what am i to do
it’s catch 22
and i am stuck on you
i’ll cover up to keep you hanging on
i hope that i’m right
