secret for a song

dawn brought a wild light

back into her tired eyes

like violets

opening her eyelids to the light

oh she was golden

i caught her still glowing

i told you where we're goin' girl

we're off for a dark country ride

i'll tell you a secret

i'll sell you a secret for a song

some day i'll tell you and take you back home where you belong

all the leaves are falling

two suns are slowly rising

i'll take you where the morning star burns just for you

my dark country bride

i'll tell you a secret

oh i'll sell you a secret for a song

i'll give you my soul

babe

an one day you'll give me yours

oh i'll tell you a secret

i'll sell you my secret for a song

i'll give you my soul

babe

an one day you'll give me yours

i'll tell you a secret

i'll sell you my secret for a song

some day i'll tell you and take you back home where you belong
