Secrets

From The Weight of Light

(© 2007 C. Townsend & D. Parker, Wild GinSang Music, BMI)

Every lover has left a secret
In a corner of my heart
And some of mine were left behind
When it came time to part.

Chorus:
Lovers speak of what is broken
They speak of what is holy
They scatter secrets on the bed
And mean them for each other only

Whatever passed between us
It was meant for them and me
And I will take it to my grave
Beneath the dogwood tree

Chorus

I pray as I grow older
That I’ve planted seeds of good
That I have asked forgiveness
And given it when I should

These half-forgotten lovers
I hope they found their road
That theirs has been a gracious life
With someone to share the load

Chorus
