Song | The secret |
Artist | Eric Burdon |
Album | My secret life |
I jused to watch you Jules LeBlanc | |
When you thought no one was around | |
I watched you walk down to the bayou's edge | |
And gently lay your body down | |
Your secret was my secret | |
And it was all that I could do to keep it | |
Keep it to myself and the power that I felt | |
But somebody must have seen | |
And burned a sacred candle in my name | |
Because now there's a spell on me | |
And I'm caught up in your purgatory chain | |
They found a body just this morning | |
Out behind St. Genevieve | |
That's the sacred place I won't let them desecrate | |
The shrine you built for me | |
Because your secret is still my secret | |
And if it means I'll have to lose my life to keep it | |
I'll take it to my grave for the love we never made | |
Because somebody followed me and | |
Spoke a lover's curse into our flame | |
But now I can't runaway | |
Because I'm caught up in your purgatory chain | |
I'm on fire … | |
I'm moanin' mmm….Yeah | |
Your secret is still my secret | |
And it have to lose my life to keep it | |
I'll take it to my grave for the love we never made | |
But somebody must have seen | |
And burned a sacred candle in my name | |
Because now there's a spell on me | |
And I'm caught up in your purgatory chain | |
I'm your slave you've got me chained | |
No matter how far you go | |
No matter where you're headed | |
When you get there I will be there | |
Waiting waiting in the rain | |
Your secret is still my secret | |
And if it means I'll have to lose my life to keep it | |
I'll take it to my grave | |
For the love we never made | |
But somebody must have seen | |
And burned a sacred candle in my name | |
Because now there's a spell on me | |
And I'm caught up in your purgatory chain | |
I'm your slave | |
You've got me chained |
I jused to watch you Jules LeBlanc | |
When you thought no one was around | |
I watched you walk down to the bayou' s edge | |
And gently lay your body down | |
