Emma Pollock - Cannot Keep a Secret lyrics

Cross the water with me And I guarantee by morning we will land Your fingers stretched in sand Staring out to sea Walk the Crana and the Swan Raising a half as night falls To names engraved on windowpanes To the patriarchs reclaimed Will you dip your toe gently in the water? Send the ripples home whipping up a storm Will you make amends with the changing currents? They eddy and they flow and bring your sisters home You said "Look at my face" Tell me the truth I am not long for this world" And our selfish ways are the source of much disgrace Post a letter in the trees Ask the enchanted 'Won't you please give us more days like these?' Chasing Emperors & Blues diving in the breeze Will you dip your toe gently in the water? Send the ripples home whipping up a storm Will you make amends with the changing currents? They eddy and they flow and bring your sisters home She set alight all that was right and basked in front of firelight She spilled her guts that night; left you for dead Somebody hold me back Somebody hold me back Somebody hold Will you dip your toe gently in the water? Send the ripples home whipping up a storm Will you make amends with the changing currents? They eddy and they flow and bring your sisters home I cannot keep a secret. Has anybody seen it? I cannot keep a secret. Has anybody seen it? I cannot keep a secret. Has anybody seen it? I cannot keep a secret. Has anybody seen it?
