Ten Feathers
Hush, hush, ten feathers fly, one of them true, nine of them lies
Hush hush say not a word, keep safe my secret no slander nor slur
Hush hush ten feathers gone, the lies and the truth have all become one


The bottles were empty the hour was late, and oh her heart was heavy
Her words poured like honey into his ear:
"Keep safe my secret leave nothing to fear"
But the secret she told him was lost in the wind
Twisting and turning again and again
Caught on a breeze she couldn’t retrieve
Her secret broken, on the wind as it blows...

Hush, hush, ten feathers fly, one of them true, nine of them lies
Hush hush say not a word, keep safe my secret no slander nor slur

Hush hush ten feathers gone, the lies and the truth have all become one


She told him a story he couldn’t believe
of a family man whose honour deceived
A tale of addiction, needless despair, disintegration, unanswered prayers
Like innocence stolen, her words he revealed
Shamed by a scandal no longer concealed
The truth or fiction, who really knows
Her secret scattered, on the wind as it blows....

Hush, hush, ten feathers fly, one of them true, nine of them lies
Hush hush say not a word, keep safe my secret no slander nor slur

Hush hush ten feathers gone, the lies and the truth have all become one



White feathers flying, Silk road to hell
Prescribed addiction, which the truth must she tell
Violently spiralling, toxic denial
While she stands aside, in others confides

Hush, hush, ten feathers fly, one of them true, nine of them lies
Hush hush say not a word, keep safe my secret no slander or slur
Hush hush ten feathers gone, the lies and the truth have all become one
Hush hush ten feathers gone, the lies and the truth have all become one.
