The Tell - Pride of Lions

It’s the flash of your eyes

In the darkness

It’s the sign that escapes from your lips

And though you run

From the tug of emotion

You’re betrayed by the

Gestures of your fingertips

And though you think you guard

Your house of cards so well

They call it the tell

Baby I can tell by the way that you move

You give yourself away when

You try to me smooth

They call it the tell

You hide your madness

So innocently

They call it the tell

You can fool them all

But you’re not fooling me

It’s the words that you say in a whisper

It’s the blush of your

Skin running deep

It’s your double entendres

Each slip of the tongue

That’s letting me know

That it’s treason you speak

When you protest too much

The truth rings like a bell
