Lyrics


My Secret Garden

My secret garden is not so secret anymore

Run from the house holding my head in my hands

Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel

It all seems so absurd

That this should have occurred

My very only secret

And I had to go and leak it

My secret garden's not so secret anymore


No, my secret garden is not so secret anymore

Run through the fields, down to the edge of the water

Can't stay long, here comes the reason why

She'll catch me if she can

Take me by the hand

I'll have to keep on running

And I just can't see the fun in

My secret garden not being secret anymore


It used to be so easy

On days such as these she'd

Search and search for hours

In among the flowers

I loved it - I loved her

I loved it - I loved her


Play the fool, act so cruel - I loved it

Read her book, take a look - I loved her


It all seems so absurd

That this should have occurred

My very only secret

And I had to go and leak it

My secret garden is not so secret anymore
