She'll never know
When she tells you goodnight
The fear that you hide
As she lays by your side
When you stand
All the faults of a man
Etched right in your face
Still she lays there in place
How the warmth
Of the garden you sowed
Is the stuff of these bones
Once broken and cold
And you go home
And you sleep in your bed
Feel like you're dancing in sync
With the ghosts in your head
And she wakes
You say go back to sleep
And you dare never say
The greatest secret you keep
Is that you might be alone
And that you might have to run
That the rest of your life
Will be a series of nights
That you spend in your mind
Staring backwards through time
At something you lost
When she tells you goodnight
The fear that you hide
As she lays by your side
When you stand
All the faults of a man
Etched right in your face
Still she lays there in place
How the warmth
Of the garden you sowed
Is the stuff of these bones
Once broken and cold
And you go home
And you sleep in your bed
Feel like you're dancing in sync
With the ghosts in your head
And she wakes
You say go back to sleep
And you dare never say
The greatest secret you keep
Is that you might be alone
And that you might have to run
That the rest of your life
Will be a series of nights
That you spend in your mind
Staring backwards through time
At something you lost
