Issa(pronounced eeee-sah) (formerly known as Jane Siberry, born October 12, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario) is most famous for her early 1980s new wave hits such as "Mimi on the Beach", "I Muse Aloud" and "One More Colour". Internationally, she is best known for her 1993 album When I Was a Boy.Following the commercial failure of her 1995 album Maria, Siberry founded her own independent label, Sheeba Records. She has released all of her subsequent material on that label. Her public profile has been lower since she became an independent artist; however, she retains a devoted cult following. Early in 2006, she closed her Sheeba office, then sold and gave away nearly all of her possessions -- including her home and instruments.

Let's Not Talk Now Lyrics

Jane Siberry

I can see the sweetness on your face
you don't know I'm looking
under the light of the moon
I know you're alive

in the blackness of the pine
in the paleness of the moon
you offer me a silver spoon
you offer me arms to take up
you offer me arms to wake up in
and we'll put pain away
sing the heavens to sleep
ah - let's not talk now
didn't know the birds woke so early
didn't know the dawn was so beautiful
didn't know didn't know didn't know
I didn't know

I can see the patience on your face
you don't know what it means to me
when I get weepy or when I get mad
I'm not very cool

in the blackness of the pine
in the paleness of the moon
you offer me a silver spoon
you offer me arms to take up
you offer me arms to wake up in
and we'll put pain away
sing the heavens to sleep
ah - let's not talk now
didn't know the birds woke so early
didn't know the dawn was so lovely
didn't know didn't know didn't know
I didn't know

oh - you keep me laughing at the world
and the more I laugh the more I understand
and the more I understand the more I love
and I'm always out of breath
half the time I'm out of breath

in the blackness of the pine
in the paleness of the moon
you offer me your love
and my love comes back to you
