The Secret歌词

[00:00.76]The Secret - David Nail
[00:15.04]All gathered round in our Sunday best
[00:18.35]After the service on them old church steps
[00:21.68]
[00:22.20]Congregation spilling into the streets
[00:25.59]
[00:30.03]Ain t it funny how the preacher s words
[00:32.29]
[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
[00:40.98]
[00:44.50]Tending bar up in Syracuse
[00:46.75]
[00:48.20]Momma called when she got the news
[00:50.84]Hell, I don t know who she ll miss more, you or me
[00:54.80]
[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
[01:05.10]
[01:05.85]Rolling by buildings I never thought again I d see
[01:09.85]
[01:12.33]And I can t help but think about
[01:16.71]all that we could have been
[01:18.94]
[01:20.25]Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
[01:26.38]
[01:28.45]Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
[01:32.09]
[01:35.75]Buried is the secret that was us
[01:39.17]
[01:46.56]I can still see you standing there
[01:48.86]
[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
[01:57.25]
[02:01.17]Eight weeks into a nine month ride
[02:03.94]
[02:05.00]Either way it s still a lie
[02:07.26]
[02:07.88]Carrying your child with another man s name
[02:12.02]
[02:14.54]And I can t help but think about
[02:18.17]
[02:18.87]all that we could have been
[02:21.07]
[02:22.31]Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
[02:28.42]
[02:30.58]Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
[02:33.71]
[02:37.86]Buried is the secret that was us
[02:41.50]
[02:56.18]I walk up and shake his hand,
[02:58.48]
[02:59.79]tell him just how sorry I am
[03:02.38]
[03:02.88]And what I wouldn t give to have you back
[03:06.92]
[03:10.83]I wonder if you re looking down on
[03:13.26]
[03:14.39]all who is gathered round
[03:16.44]
[03:17.41]Knowing one day I too will find peace
[03:21.67]
[03:23.85]And I can t help but think about
[03:27.57]
[03:28.38]all that we could have been
[03:30.46]
[03:31.82]Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
[03:37.98]
[03:40.04]Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
[03:43.45]
[03:47.35]Buried is the secret that was us
[03:50.57]
[03:54.75]Buried is the secret that was us
[03:59.75]
