[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]maybe you learned it from your family and mix in a little of the old midwest. it seems someone out there built a legacy on keeping everything tight under wraps. all the secrets in the silos, you won’t even whisper ‘em to the prairie wind, oh. now we’re talking on the telephone, just skimming the surface of this ocean.
oh, you’re drowning me in all you’re not saying, swept under the rug for so long, oh darling. don’t it get lonely when you’re the only one who knows?
all the overly-cryptic poetry and unintelligible tales of the truth. it was all dripping in mystery, enough to keep me there long overdue. honey, honey drop the metaphor. honey, honey won’t you come clean?
i don’t claim to be so forthright, it’s not my strong point. but your attempts are illusory and you don’t even know it.
so maybe you learned it from your family. maybe that’s just your best excuse. you could use some new york city. you could use your own talk show host. ‘cause i am drowning in all you’re not saying. i wanna shake your shoulders, i wanna rip down the curtains. oh, ‘cause i remember all theses opaque conversations when so much of the meaning just got lost in the translation.
oh, it’s a tale so ordinary, oh there you were, with your pretty mouth closed. but, darlin’, you should have told me the ending long before you did.
