"The Secret" - Lyrics by Helen Suzanne - January 2015

Tell me your secret
I'll tell you mine
But swear that you'll keep it
Safe for all time

I walk with the silence
Into the night
No time for dreaming
Nothing feels right

Here in the starlight
I hear not a sound
Nothing to guide me
No one around

Tell me your secret
Honest and true
I'll make no judgement
Cold or undue
... My promise to you

I feel your presence
Deep in my soul
Empty and wasted
Losing control

So tired of waiting
Nothing makes sense
When trust has been broken
There's no recompense

Waking and sleeping
Time that we shape
Running in circles
There's no escape

Tell me your secret
I need to know
All that you fear
What you can't show
... And refuse to let go

I walk with the silence
Into the light
No hesitation
Gone is the night

Here in the sunlight
I shelter my eyes
The dawn of a new day
Bears no disguise

Tell me
Tell me ...

I'll tell you my secret
Then we'll run so far
To a place where no one can find us
We can be just who we are

So tell me your secret
Not reason nor rhyme
Just all that runs deep
Untouched and sublime
And I swear that I'll keep it
Safe for all time

What is the secret?
All that we are
Nothing to hide from
No distance too far

Tell me your secret
I'll tell you mine
All that runs deep that's
Untouched and sublime
Knowing we'll keep it
Safe for all time
