Cannot Keep a Secret Lyrics
Cross the water with me
And I guarantee by morning we will land
Your fingers stretched in sand
Staring out to seaWalk the Crana and the Swan
Raising a half as night falls
To names engraved on windowpanes
To the patriarchs reclaimedWill you dip your toe gently in the water?
Send the ripples home whipping up a storm
Will you make amends with the changing currents?
They eddy and they flow and bring your sisters homeYou said "Look at my face"
Tell me the truth
I am not long for this world"
And our selfish ways are the source of much disgrace
Post a letter in the trees
Ask the enchanted 'Won't you please give us more days like these?'
Chasing Emperors & Blues diving in the breezeWill you dip your toe gently in the water?
Send the ripples home whipping up a storm
Will you make amends with the changing currents?
They eddy and they flow and bring your sisters homeShe set alight all that was right and basked in front of firelight
She spilled her guts that night; left you for dead
Somebody hold me back
Somebody hold me back
Somebody holdWill you dip your toe gently in the water?
Send the ripples home whipping up a storm
Will you make amends with the changing currents?
They eddy and they flow and bring your sisters home
I cannot keep a secret. Has anybody seen it?
I cannot keep a secret. Has anybody seen it?
I cannot keep a secret. Has anybody seen it?
I cannot keep a secret. Has anybody seen it?
