The Secret歌词

The Secret - David Nail
All gathered round in our Sunday best
After the service on them old church steps
Congregation spilling into the streets
Ain t it funny how the preacher s words
Disappear out here on the curb
Once the weight of an old friend s body and your hands meet
Tending bar up in Syracuse
Momma called when she got the news
Hell, I don t know who she ll miss more, you or me
No, it didn t feel real, no not til now
Behind this long black Lincoln in our little town
Rolling by buildings I never thought again I d see
And I can t help but think about
all that we could have been
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Buried is the secret that was us
I can still see you standing there
Swollen eyes and snow in your hair
And your shaking voice say you couldn t get past the shame
Eight weeks into a nine month ride
Either way it s still a lie
Carrying your child with another man s name
And I can t help but think about
all that we could have been
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Buried is the secret that was us
I walk up and shake his hand,
tell him just how sorry I am
And what I wouldn t give to have you back
I wonder if you re looking down on
all who is gathered round
Knowing one day I too will find peace
And I can t help but think about
all that we could have been
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Buried is the secret that was us
