By Heart - Her Secret lyrics

Just for tonight With empty and tired eyes She crosses the stage In a dress with a Bette Midler touch So what will it take To silence the screaming crowd? To fulfil the night And a promise that matters so much She needs She needs my song And she breaks And she aches Her voice is so loud and so strong She lifts up her hand And she touches someone That someone is suddenly me On bare bended knees Just like a pool Her spirit is drying out She plays by the rules Like some good old American cop She wants to confess In hours so sad and so deep She swallows her pride And the pills that will send her to sleep She needs She needs my song And she breaks And she aches Her voice is so loud and so strong She lifts up her hand And she touches someone That someone is suddenly me On bare bended knees The spotlights are out No trace of a screaming crowd No promise to keep And no space for the two of us
