Every face hides a secret br The eyelashes bat once in acknowledgement br Shared and yet hidden br Longing to be released br Every face hides a secret br Of a forbidden glance br An unfulfilled desire br A race yet to be run br A thought that will forever remain a thought br Every face hides a secret br The hope in a mystic’s eye br A rope in the hangman’s hand br An eye following feet over cobble stone br Madness, marriages & deserted palaces br Every face hides a secret that must be told.
