Secrets In My Pockets

I’ve been writin words til i’m not sure at times What i mean to say
Friends say jumbled thoughts that just make rhymes Ain’t where its at today
Ah, you know they say
You’re gonna die with your secrets in your pockets and your heart all full of gold And nothin will unlock it til you let it get too old
There’s a lady on an island
And she’s holdin out her arms to me Though her words are fallin silent On her lips i read her plea
I’m gonna fly with my secrets in my pockets and my heart all full of gold And the lady will unlock it til no secrets will i hold
Well i tried to sail away to her
Tried to build a bridge across the sea But the waves were high and white and cruel And nothin i could do could set her free
She’s gonna cry with my secrets in her pockets and her heart all full of gold ‘Cause i never could unlock it til the lady
Grew too old
