The Secret That She Knew

by Mina Caputo

on As Much Truth as One Can Bear (2013)

Up in the mountains, awfully shy and meek
She dresses in the dark, laid up for about a week
A chorus girl with outskirts, gonna run her crazy
Way down in No Man's Land, she shines nonetheless

She didn't know how to tell the secret that she knew
She didn't know how to tell the secret that she knew

Up in the eastern sky in upward flight
The rain came pouring down on her last fleeting breath
And shivered where the cold wind blew, she watched the rain all day
Found the sweet sunshine at last but she left in the rain anyway

She didn't know how to tell the secret that she knew

The secret that she knew

She knew
That she knew, yeah

She didn't know how to tell the secret that she knew
She didn't know how to tell the secret that she knew
She didn't know how to tell the secret that she knew
She didn't know how to tell the secret that she knew
She didn't know how to tell the secret that she knew

The secret that she knew
The secret that she knew
The secret that she knew
The secret that she knew
