Thousand Secrets Songtext
von Sahara Smith

Blue light breaking on the window glass
And a cool wind shaking in the long, wide grass
The ocean speaks the language of the dawn
Thin sails rising in the autumn sky
And the old man singing while the knots untie
I look back and all the ships are gone

No one′s gonna know
The thousand little secrets that I slipped into the undertow
There's a quiet hunger I have curled myself inside
And it′s a thousand secrets wide

He sold white carnations in a neon bar
And when he turned sixteen he bought a stolen car
And drove all the way to Dallas in the dark
Well, I could fall in love but I'm so damn young
And I try to hold on but then the quick rains come
And every time they fall it breaks my heart


No one's gonna know
The thousand little secrets that I slipped into the undertow
There′s a quiet hunger I have curled myself inside
And it′s a thousand secrets wide

For every broken branch
There's a mile of fallen leaves
And no one knows the river flows a thousand miles deep

I wanna walk on water, wanna walk downstream
I wanna walk back to New Orleans
With the crash of broken glass all in the yard
I wanna quit this city in the midnight hush
Of a pale moon shining on a southbound bus
You never know what you love until you lose it hard

No one′s gonna know
The thousand little secrets that I slipped into the undertow
There's a quiet hunger I have curled myself inside
And it′s a thousand secrets wide
There's a quiet hunger I have curled myself inside
And it′s a thousand secrets wide
And it's a thousand secrets wide
And it's a thousand secrets wide
