Sundown Keeps Its Secrets

[couchgrouch]

for a country gal...Sundown Keeps Its SecretsThe sun was a red ball fading from sightas I hopped on the back of that bad boy's bikeand hoped mama wouldn't catch me with himin honeysuckle fields outside townhe said my tan was a priceless gownas our sweat was dried by the evening windhe brushed the grass from my tousled hairand said just the night would know we were thereand sundown keeps its secretsit's the one friend hearts can trustso relive that kiss...that restless touchcos time won't tell if darkness never doesand sundown keeps its secretswell, I stayed in school and made mama proudthat boy's married and a mechanic nowI see him sometimes at the nearby K-Martwe stand there and talk of our wild daysbut he won't even look my waywhen his new wife is on his armhe's got her kisses now and she's got his ringif he ain't told her she don't suspect a thingcos sundown keeps its secretsit's the one friend hearts can trustso relive that kiss...that restless touchcos time won't tell if darkness never doesand sundown keeps its secretshe musta fixed up that old bike, I swear I saw it one nightwhere honeysuckle fills the airguess I'm not the only one, who waits till the day is donethen reminisces wheresundown keeps its secretssundown keeps its secrets...(c)2007 Robert George
