The Echoing Green - Voices Carry lyrics

I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind But I'm frightened of the things I might find Oh, there must be something he's thinking of To tear him away When I tell him that I'm falling in love Why does he say Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry I try so hard not to get upset Because I know all the trouble I'll get Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide And something to fear And I try so hard to keep it inside So no one can hear Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry Oh, he wants me, but only part of the time He wants me if he can keep me in line Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry Oh, hush, hush, shut up now, voices carry Oh, hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry Oh, hush hush, darling, she might overhear Oh no, voices carry He said shut up He said shut up Oh God, can't you keep it down, voices carry Oh, voices carry I wish he would let me talk
