Speaking Confidentially Lyrics - Lay It Down - Cowboy Junkies

Speaking confidentially 

the fire that burnt inside of me 

has turned to ash the tortured tree 

that grows beside the anguished sea 

Speaking confidentially 

Speaking metaphorically 

the earth I trust beneath my feet 

is moving now ever so slightly 

I shift my feet but feel no relief 

Speaking metaphorically 

Speaking hypothetically 

if the air you breathed was so unique 

would you use it up to idly speak 

or horde it for a rainy week 

Speaking hypothetically

Speaking kind of cryptically 

the sea that raged beside the tree 

burning bright for all to see 

it just might mean the most to me 

Speaking kind of cryptically
