[00:00.76] | 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 |
