My secret song

lyrics for a song that i haven't written the music for yet

When I turned away from you to lock my door

I smiled to myself but I made sure

That you saw my so-called secret and maybe you

Thought there was more

More where that came from

More where that came from

 

I wore the secret smile underneath my clothes

Neck up I talked and laughed and sang, putting on a show

I kept your eyes on mine so they

Couldn't wander down and know

Something I hadn't yet exposed

Something I hadn't yet exposed

 

And when we faced each other in front of my locked gate

The secret underneath my clothes blazed with a sudden weight

The sun pierced my eyes, the stones bit my feet

I sagged and I flagged 

Groping for a retreat

The gate closed beween us

And the pain went away

But that heavy balled secret

Is inside me today

The tease, the tease.
The promise, the promise.
The passion, the passion.
The poetry of it all!
