Intro: Love is a secret That everyone knows Love is a chime that rings When the wind blows Keep yourself honest So it can grow 'Cause when you've lost it Your heart turns cold Isn't it so? (let ring) I remember the first girl That I really loved However it hurt her She loved me enough I wanted to wander She knew I would go She shed a tear knowin' That I'd be alone Wasn't it so? Painfully I was most aware how Very unfair it was Leavin' her suddenly just like that Goin' God knows where I was Chasing a rainbow She understood She was a prophet She told me I should Follow my heart Like I'd been told Seek out your vision Before you get old Isn't it so? (solo) Now many years later I finally see How much she did love me She set me free Her last few dollars Put gas in my car She said "Promise to write me Wherever you are" From out on the highway I think I wrote twice I always remembered Her simple advice Love is a secret That everyone knows Try too hard to hide it It never will show Isn't it so (solo) How did she know?
