My Secret is My Silence

If you never leave the Highlands

Like you're drowning under rain

And your sadness tastes like whiskey

And my body breathes the same

And I'll drain my wisdom empty

Just to feel that space again

But you know nothing is outside

And my secret is my silence

And my secret is my silence

And my silence is in vain

I'm sick of living in these buildings

That were built in blood and rain

And from the warm side of the window

The views always look the same

But your face it held the stories

Full of dreams it can contain

But you know nothing is outside

And my secret is my silence

And my secret is my silence

And my silence is in vain

You know nothing is outside

And my secret is my silence

And my secret is my silence

And my silence is in vain

Oh, oh

And you held on to a country

From the kaleyard to the grave

And you spoke in quickly written verses

Hidden in your Gaelic name

To approach land without a harbour

To find your way home

And you approach land without a harbour

And find your way home [5x]

[?]

But you know nothing is outside

And my secret is my silence

And my secret is my silence

And my silence is in vain
