Don't you know it stays with me
The shadows sewn in against my skin
Stitched down to the heart
Don't you know
Don't you know the saddest thing
Is being without, going without
Making it go so long
The arms of the islands
Reaching out to sea
Laughter in the backyard
Young faces to the sky
And our hearts
And our minds
Open wide
You might be a dream
You could be everything I planned
Once before
All this concrete
All this noise
And the fellows holding hands
All in a days work
You sitting in the backyard
I've got a secret
I've got something to tell you
Oh I've got a secret
Hidden underneath these
Forgiving eyes
Oh I've got a secret
I'm in love with you
