Family Secret - Alannah Myles

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

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…

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

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…

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
