Secrets Know No Boundaries

10/02 2021

To hide behind those eyes would be a crime
As church bells ring across the countryside
Secrets know no boundaries not to cross.

Just outside the frame his wife is laughing
He must not break, but he gives a smile, wide.
To hide behind those eyes would be a crime.

To try to understand his suffering
The minister peers into his soul: pride.
Secrets know no boundaries not to cross.

Lay out the sun, lay down the burning.
Rest, God knows you've earned it, lighting the night.
To hide behind those eyes would be a crime.

Feel the weight on your head, feel it wringing
Words you've kept from yourself with the dark light
Secrets know no boundaries not to cross.

That's all I need from the place I'm sitting.
Something real, light shining straight inside.
To hide behind those eyes would be a crime
Secrets know no boundaries not to cross.
