Lyrics
Secret Oktober
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wise on a birthday party
in a world
full of surprising fireworks
and sudden silence
Lies on a stranger's bed
the new day breaks
like a speeding train
on an old friend
ever expected,
but never knocking
Holding your own
in a battered car
All night parties
cocktail bars
and smile
when the butterfly escapes
the killing jar
Chorus:
Sure eyes awake
before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in
Secret Oktober
Freefall
on a windy morning shore--
nothing but a fading track
of footsteps, to prove
that you'd ever been there
Spoken
on a cotton cloud
like the sound of gunshot
taken by the wind
and lost in distant thunder
Racing
on a shining plane
Tomorrow won't be content
to watch as the lightning
plays along the wires,
and you'll wonder...
(chorus x2)
