[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
