Secrets from *NEW* Undertow by Sharon Knight

There it goes again, a prickling on my skin
Feels like someone’s watching me, waiting, trying to get in

Too much to remember, too much to hold on to
Memories unraveling, remnants of a time long ago

I’m not going back there, I’m not going back there again
Who do we leave behind, when we decide we cannot make amends

What secrets, what secrets do you keep
When the shadows come alive, when the shadows come alive
What do you, what do you dare not speak
When the ocean gets too deep, too deep to survive

I have not been back there in 20 years or more
Left my sorrow buried when I walked out that door

Why did I not hear you, why did I not hear you call my name
We were just children, red rubber boots muddied in the rain
What dreams do you nurture, what longings do you dare not speak aloud
Will somebody hear you, will somebody tell you that they’re proud?

What secrets, what secrets do you keep
When the shadows come alive, when the shadows come alive
What do you, what do you dare not speak
When the ocean gets too deep, too deep to survive
