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.... |
