Wake the Secret

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Salt on the sill, a bowl of rain Your old key turning in my hand The curtains breathe though windows close And something stirs beneath the stone [Pre-Chorus] I draw a circle in the dust I say your name; the candles hush [Chorus] Come through the veil, come through the wall I hear your footsteps in the hall Tell me what the dark has kept Wake the secret I have left [Verse 2] Black water trembles in the glass A silver thread slips through the past The house remembers every vow The door is opening somehow [Pre-Chorus] I draw a circle in the dust I say your name; the candles hush [Chorus] Come through the veil, come through the wall I hear your footsteps in the hall Tell me what the dark has kept Wake the secret I have left [Bridge] If you are only memory Why does the floorboards answer me? If I must pay to know the truth Take every year I kept from you [Final Chorus] Come through the veil, come through the wall I hear your footsteps in the hall Tell me what the dark has kept Wake the secret I have left [Outro] The bowl is still, the key is warm Your name remains inside the storm
