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.
