She Moves In Secret Ways Lyrics - Singles - Polly Paulusma

On a river of sighs a boat came towards me 

A flimsy disguise covered the devil 

Who sang from a song sheet of how modern lifes a bore 

In his choirboy's attire 

He sang me the life to which good girls aspire 

Where men in white coats 

Give us pills to tame the horses that stamp on our floors 

And pills for when the horses have bolted out the door 

Its hard to explain 

I dont like hanging on to reins in my hands all the time 

Im running out of trails 

Worn paths dont lead to where I need to get to every time 

She moves in secret ways 

And there is grace and poised perfection 

When she takes the helm 

She moves in secret ways 

Now the house is on fire, the rats are all screaming 

The horses are tired, they think theyre still dreaming 

Cause the barn doors are open, the crossbar is hanging in the wind 

So the devil sings higher 

Oh, just look at what youre doing 

Yeah, hes joined by a choir of doctors and statesmen 

Who plan their sorry lives to the last day's end 

But look at all the happy things that happen by accident 

Its hard to explain 

I dont like hanging on to reins in my hands all the time 

Im running out of trails 

Worn paths dont lead to where I need to get to every time 

She moves in secret ways 

And there is grace and poised perfection 

When she takes the helm 

She moves in secret ways 

Days gone by, I thought I had it all 

Filed in little boxes 

Now I find I never had control 

Just took little chances and won 

Now the devils downstream, hes singing to someone 

My horses are free, they answer to no-one 

Unbridled, untethered, they roam on the unmarked land 

In my house, theres a calm, a peace has descended 

No need for alarm, its as she intended 

Im through with trying to fight the things I dont understand 

Accept my sweet surrender to the greater, better plan 

Its hard to explain 

I dont like hanging on to reins in my hands all the time 

Im running out of trails 

Worn paths dont lead to where I need to get to every time 

She moves in secret ways 

And there is grace and poised perfection 

When she takes the helm 

She moves in secret ways 

She moves in secret ways 

She moves in secret ways
