Hidden Track

A record playing in my mind
A folk song of a time
It trips and jumps and skips a beat
Just like my pounding heart
The memories and the places
Where once our shadows danced
Forgotten lyrics on a lost track
That the needle cannot find
But still I know the hidden song
It was written in my blood
My veins, they are the vinyl grooves
Through which my love still hums
I feel it and I hear it
The beauty and the pain
Though I've tried to mute my throbbing heart
And tried to change the tune
Love is unforgiving
And will not be mistook
And though my heart is broken
And the rhythm of our souls has jarred
I want to have this dance with you
And find our hidden track.
