Family Secret Lyrics - The Very Best Of - Alannah Myles

Sweet breeze blowin' through a summer dress 

Seen from a window above 

Captured in the eyes of love 

Shivers in the cool forbidden dawn 

Where the iris and the jasmin run wild 

She was young and he was a child 

And he vanished like July 

Some folks, they wondered why 

But old money has its friends 

Ain't it funny how the truth will bend 

It's the family secret, don't pass it on 

Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong 

It's the family secret, just let it be 

I know the secret of her mystery 

Whispers, how they sound like raindrops 

Hush, now we'll make it alright 

She's framed by the front porch light 

Suspicion, rising up like dragonflies 

They say there's a story to tell 

And it's buried in the family well 

Now the congregation prays 

Save us from our evil ways 

But old money has its friends 

Ain't it funny how the truth will bend 

It's the family secret 

It's the family secret, don't pass it on 

Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong 

It's the family secret, just let it be 

I know the secret of her mystery 

It's the family secret, yeah, yeah, family secret 

It's the family secret, don't pass it on 

Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong 

It's the family secret, just let it be 

I know the secret of her mystery 

It's the family secret, don't pass it on 

Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong 

It's the family secret, just let it be 

I know the secret of her mystery 

Keep it in the family now 

It's the family secret, ooh, ohh, family secret 

Keep it in a, keep it in a family way 

Whoa, keep it in a family, family secret 

Keep it in a family secret
