 The Secret goes  with its books and clothes  from Ghost  Town
 To a place  no one can trace  maybe there’s peace  there in the streets  there
 It’s gone,  yes  yes yes not to return  why  no no burned  yes  yes yes
 David wrote  in his good-bye note  ‘it’s all different  now’
 And he’s right  I hope I get it right  as I go  on, as I move  on
 It’s strong,  yes  yes yes what we made  for  a thousand years it will not fade
 no  no no
 There are places  he could have stayed
 But he had to go because he loved the rain
 There were hearts  there was help
 But he couldn’t love them because he didn’t love himself
 It’s gone,  yes  yes yes it’s wrong  and why  should this be so  yes  yes yes
 And he knew  more than I knew
 And I hated  what he hated too
 This world,  now  that’s gone a girl  a thousand  words a swirl  and why  why why
 
 There are people  who love the moon
 Its milky warmth and its brilliant gloom
 They hate the day  it’s just too rough
 They go in the morning when they’ve had enough
 David wrote  in his good-bye note  ‘it’s all different  now’
 And it is  there’s much I’ll miss  as I go  on as I move  on
 It’s gone,  yes  yes yes it’s wrong  and why  should this be so  why  why why
