What is it about?
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 couldn’t quite discern meDoes 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 youAnd my big secret – Gonna win you over
Slow like honey, heavy with moodI’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 meIt’s my big secret – Keeping you coming
Slow like honey, heavy with moodThough dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apartSo 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 gloryBut 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
My Thoughts
This is one of the songs that I used to add to the video games The Sims and The Sims 2.
I had this song set as one of the songs to play in build mode and / or buy mode.
It is a song that probably sounds even better when listening to it at night.
The end,
