Uncertain Terms Songtext
von The Borrowers

Said the moon to the silvery trees
"I will always be with you"
But the world kept turning anyway
And if the moon believed what he did say
His words were proved untrue
Many clouds rolled in that night
Turned the sky charcoal gray
And when the clouds had finally passed
The trees of silver saw at last
The moon had gone away
And love dictates uncertain terms
In words that will deceive
But love will never let you learn
Just beg you to believe
Just beg you to believe
Said the river as it rushed by
"Don′t you know where the moon has gone?
His path is chosen by the night
To remind us of the morning light
And you must carry on" Though the moon may worship you
And though his heart you've won
There′s another voice he must obey
Another love he can't betray
And nor can his direction stray
From the journey he's begun
From the journey he′s begun
And love dictates uncertain terms
In words that will deceive
But love will never let you learn
Just beg you to believe
Yeah, love dictates uncertain terms
Its language is deceiving
But love will never let you learn
You just have to keep believing
You just have to keep believing
You just have to keep believing
Jonathan′s favorite room
And no one sees him as he comes and goes


It's a long way up at the top of the stairs
It′s a little bit dusty, but I don't care
If you can keep a secret, I might take you there
To Jonathan′s favorite room

Now, I don't think Daddy likes me ′cause I make him mad
He's angry with me even when I haven't been bad
I sometimes hear my Mommy stay out all night long
It hurts because they never say what Jonathan′s done wrong
When I can tell that they don′t want me around
I go off by myself into a place I've found

To Jonathan′s favorite room
It's all my own, and no one knows
Jonathan′s favorite room
And no one sees him as he comes and goes
It's a long way up at the top of the stairs
It′s a little bit dusty, but I don't care
If you can keep a secret, I might take you there
To Jonathan's favorite room

Now, it seems like Daddy′s drinking almost every day
Mommy says he loves us, but he′s going away
When they start to argue, I pretend I don't hear
And I close my eyes and I disappear

To Jonathan′s favorite room
It's all my own, and no one knows
Jonathan′s favorite room
And no one sees him as he comes and goes
It's a long way up at the top of the stairs
It′s a little bit dusty, but I don't care
If you can keep a secret, I might take you there

Now, it's a long way up at the top of the stairs
It′s a little bit dusty, but I don′t care
If you can keep a secret
If you can keep a secret
If you can keep a secret
If you can keep a secret
If you can keep a secret
If you can keep a secret
If you can keep a secret
If you can keep a secret
If you can keep a secret
If you can keep a secret
