The Secret - David Nail |
| [00:15.04] |
All gathered round in our Sunday best after the service on them old church steps |
| [00:22.20] |
Congregation spilling into the streets |
| [00:30.03] |
Ain t it funny how the preacher's words |
| [00:33.62] |
Disappear out here on the curb |
| [00:36.42] |
Once the weight of an old friend's body and your hands meet |
| [00:44.50] |
Tending bar up in Syracuse，Momma called when she got the news |
| [00:50.84] |
Hell, I don t know who she ll miss more, you or me |
| [00:58.34] |
No, it didn t feel real, no not til now |
| [01:01.68] |
Behind this long black Lincoln in our little town |
| [01:05.85] |
Rolling by buildings I never thought again I'd see |
| [01:12.33] |
And I can t help but think about |
| [01:16.71] |
all that we could have been |
| [01:20.25] |
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him |
| [01:28.45] |
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust |
| [01:35.75] |
Buried is the secret that was us |
| [01:46.56] |
I can still see you standing there |
| [01:50.15] |
Swollen eyes and snow in your hair |
| [01:52.93] |
And your shaking voice say you couldn t get past the shame |
| [02:01.17] |
Eight weeks into a nine month ride |
| [02:05.00] |
Either way it's still a lie |
| [02:07.88] |
Carrying your child with another man's name |
| [02:14.54] |
And I can t help but think about |
| [02:18.87] |
all that we could have been |
| [02:22.31] |
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him |
| [02:30.58] |
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust |
| [02:37.86] |
Buried is the secret that was us |
| [02:56.18] |
I walk up and shake his hand |
| [02:59.79] |
tell him just how sorry I am |
| [03:02.88] |
And what I wouldn t give to have you back |
| [03:10.83] |
I wonder if you re looking down on |
| [03:14.39] |
all who is gathered round |
| [03:17.41] |
Knowing one day I too will find peace |
| [03:23.85] |
And I can t help but think about |
| [03:28.38] |
all that we could have been |
| [03:31.82] |
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him |
| [03:40.04] |
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust |
| [03:47.35] |
Buried is the secret that was us |
| [03:54.75] |
Buried is the secret that was us |
