Blue light breaking on the window gla** and
Cool wind shaking in the long, white gra**
The ocean speaks the language of the dawn
Thin sails rising on the autumn sky
And the old man's singing while the knots untie
I looked back and all the ships are gone
And no one's gonna know
The thousand little secrets that are slippin' through the undertow
There's a quiet hunger I have curled myself inside
And it's a thousand secrets wide
Sold white carnations in an neon bar
And when he turned sixteen he bought a stolen car
Drove all the way to Dallas in the dark
And I could fall in love but I'm so damn young
And I try to hold on but then the quicker rains come
And everytime they fall it breaks my heart
And no one's gonna know
The thousand little secrets that are slippin' through the undertow
There's a quiet hunger I have curled myself inside
And it's a thousand secrets wide
Every broken bridge, there's mile of fallen leaves
And no one knows the river flows a thousand miles deep
Wanna walk on water, wanna walk downstream
I wanna walk back to New Orleans, with the crash of broken gla** in the yard
I wanna quit this city in the midnight hush of a pale moon shinin' on a southbound bus
You never know what you've lost until you lose it hard
And no one's gonna know
The thousand little secrets that are slippin' through 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
