Our Secret
The promise so long forgotten
We barely remember its name
Two sides of a coin never minted
All gussied up in its shame
We know where once was commitment
Burns a funeral pyre
The bond we entered so freely
Desperately longs to expire
(chorus)
It’s as if it never happened - as if we never met
The way you’re looking right through me is no longer our secret
You claim to want forgiveness
Where no sorrow exists
I'm fighting to remember
Just how long it's been like this
We will never find redemption
With a penlight in a cave
Till one of us steps forward
With a torch beside this grave
(chorus)
It’s as if it never happened - as if we never met
The way you’re looking right through me is no longer our secret
(bridge)
So kneel down here right beside me
Where did we leave those vows
My hands are shaking on this torchlight
We’ll get it lit somehow
(chorus)
It’s as if it never happened - as if we never met
The way you’re looking right through me is no longer our secret

Speaking Orange
She loves to speak in orange when the sunset’s kissed the beach and the lonely festival’s just bedding down
With a raspy smoky breath humming rum soaked melodies she’s my sequined protégé in evening gown
When she’s hollering my name there is nothing quite the same as the destiny that’s never reached full worth
I may never know the truth, yet my clearly fuzzy youth leaves a vacancy of memories giving birth
(chorus)
She is yellow in the morning turning blue in afternoon with a touch of lavender at suppertime
She comes running in to see me with a rainbow full of pure glee testifying to her soul still in its prime
Colors many colors painting stories of our lives painting roadmaps where we sometimes fear to go
I will write my will in orange to a dedicated homage to this hero bringing comfort from all foes
In the dusty afternoon when the sun has gone too soon and the hermit crabs have now all gone to sleep
We will spin the wheel of fortune, gloried in loss of caution anticipating losses we now keep
Do I dare to speak the color that I’m writing in full homage as I’m sipping on her rum soaked melody
She loves to speak in orange when the sunset’s kissed the beach and the lonely festival sits by the sea
(chorus)
She is yellow in the morning turning blue in afternoon with a touch of lavender at suppertime
She comes running in to see me with a rainbow full of pure glee testifying to her soul still in its prime
Colors many colors painting stories of our lives painting roadmaps where we sometimes fear to go
I will write my will in orange to a dedicated homage to this hero bringing comfort from all foes
(instrumental break)
(chorus)
She is yellow in the morning turning blue in afternoon with a touch of lavender at suppertime
She comes running in to see me with a rainbow full of pure glee testifying to her soul still in its prime
Colors many colors painting stories of our lives painting roadmaps where we sometimes fear to go
I will write my will in orange to a dedicated homage to this hero bringing comfort from all foes

Suite of Lies
The warranty is over, owner’s manual has expired
This house must be condemned says the builder I just hired
It’s a renovation challenge it’s a re-habber’s delight
And when you see the roof you’ll be paralyzed with fright
(chorus)
Contractors in my bedroom building dreams while I’m asleep
The promise of forgiveness moving walls I dare not keep
Even sandmen need a respite when they’ve crucified their lives
I’ll be snoring way past breakfast in a hazmat suite of lies
There’s a spirit in the kitchen there’s an odd smell in the ducts
I keep waking in the daylight cause enough is not enough
There’s been meeting after meeting and this job keeps going on
They’ve found sewerage in the closet and the plumber’s been reborn
(bridge)
Electrician’s now gone fishing for connections in my life
But most of them have frayed and my current aint quite right
There’s a skylight in the attic letting only darkness in
There’s a coastal view on Sundays but it’s really just a whim
(chorus)
Contractors in my bedroom building dreams while I’m asleep
The promise of forgiveness moving walls I dare not keep
Even sandmen need a respite when they’ve crucified their lives
I’ll be snoring way past breakfast in a hazmat suite of lies
Songwriter’s explanation: Although largely appearing to be about a house in need of serious renovation, this is really a metaphor about the singer’s personal life being in shambles and in need of substantial rehabilitation.
