The Secret Lyrics - I'm A Fire - David Nail

All gathered 'round in our Sunday best 

After the service on them old church steps 

Congregation spilling into the streets 

Ain't it funny how the preacher's words 

Disappear out here on the curb 

Once the weight of an old friend's body and your hands meet 

Tending bar up in Syracuse 

Momma called when she got the news 

Hell, I don't know who she'll miss more, you or me 

No, it didn't feel real, no not 'til now 

Behind this long black Lincoln in our little town 

Rolling by buildings I never thought again I'd see

And I can't help but think about all that we could have been 

Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 

Buried is the secret that was us 

I can still see you standing there 

Swollen eyes and snow in your hair 

And your shaking voice say you couldn't get past the shame 

Eight weeks into a nine month ride 

Either way it's still a lie 

Carrying your child with another man's name 

And I can't help but think about all that we could have been 

Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 

Buried is the secret that was us 

I walk up and shake his hand, tell him just how sorry I am 

And what I wouldn't give to have you back 

I wonder if you're looking down on all who is gathered 'round 

Knowing one day I too will find peace
