No Hidden Track Songtext
von Okkervil River

What if there′s no hidden track?
No journey there, no journey back?
The rain falls down upon the same old grass
The rain falls down, the rain falls down, the rain falls down

What if there's no secret word
No matter what you thought you heard
I asked the author′s son and he averred
"No secret word, no secret word, no hidden track"

But my words left me, and my heart, it just went slack, just went slack
When I saw it passing, because what if it can't come back?
It can't come back, there′s no hidden track


What if there′s no trap-door down?
The cold hard floor, the cold hard ground
The cold hard car commute back into town
No trap-door down, no trap-door down, no hidden track

My words left me, and my heart it just went slack, just went slack
When I saw them passing
Because what if they can't come back?
They can′t come back, and there's no hidden track, no hidden track

But for all of us and all of you
There are some things we can′t see into
Because from the other side no light shows through
I hope that there's a hidden track
It feels like there′s a hidden track
