The Song That Knew Too MuchHer kiss was sweet and she swore,she didn't love him no morebut something out there saw it allcos after I'd dressed and gone,through some door there came a songand its haunting words called and calledso I ducked in that saloon,and on the juke was a tunethat looked my conscience in the eyesit knew ev'ry hiding place,spoke of each stolen embraceand peeled away all my alibisit's the song that knew too mucheach dark secret revealedev'ry whisper...ev'ry touchin a soft fiddle and pedal steelall we did, nothing stayed hidfrom the song that knew too muchwell, she never left that man,time moved on...now here I amdriving at night with broken dreamswhen a voice from long ago,drifts over the radioand paints me a blue and desp'rate sceneI doubt she would have told him,how my fingers kissed her skinshe'd want his pride to be sparedbut if it found me again,that tune will surely find themcos the truth searches ev'rywhereit's the song that knew too mucheach dark secret revealedev'ry whisper...ev'ry touchin a soft fiddle and pedal steelall we did, nothing stayed hidfrom the song that knew too muchI may be a fool for lovebut I'm not alone tonightonly a fool would be wise enoughto be able to writethe song that knew too mucheach dark secret revealedev'ry whisper...ev'ry touchin a soft fiddle and pedal steelall we did, nothing stayed hidfrom the song that knew too much(c)2004 Robert George
