Alannah Myles Family Secret Lyrics

Family Secret Lyrics

Sweet breeze, blowin' through a summer dress

Seen from a window
above

Captured in the eyes of love



Shivers, in the cool forbidden
dawn

Where the Iris and Jasmin run wild

She was young and he was a
child



He vanished like July

Some folks, they wondered why

But
old money has its friends

Ain't it funny how the truth will
bend



Chorus:

It's the family secret, don't pass it on

Daddy's
angel 'til something went wrong

It's the family secret of her
mystery...



Verse II:

Whispers, how they sound like
raindrops

Hush now we'll make it alright

She's framed by the front
porch light

Uuuhuh, suspicion, raising up like dragonflies

They say
there's a story to tell

Buried in the family well



Now the
congregation prays

Save us from our evil ways

But old money has its
friends

Ain't it funny how the truth will bend



Chorus:

It's
the family secret, it's the family secret, don't pass it on

Daddy's angel
'til something went wrong

It's the family secret, just let it be

I know
the secret of her mystery...



Solo:

It's the family secret, it's the
family secret

It's the family secret, don't pass it on

Daddy's angel
'til something went wrong

It's the family secret, just let it be

I know
the secret to her mystery



Keep it in the family now, behind closed
doors

Past the rows of cypress trees, through the Spanish moss

Those
old stone walls

It's the family secret, it's the family secret
