Song Lyrics

December, I was lost and dark and said I couldn't shake
I called you in California and you answered right away
You answered right away, you picked up right away

You were workin' at the table that your father made
You were gonna teach guitar to half the kids across our lane
All across the lane, half the kids across our lane

You're the best-kept secret in Silver Lane

I talked about my misery, you called it pain of pain
How we light a pile on until we go insane
'Til we go insane, until we go insane

You're the best-kept secret in Silver Lane

Oh, you can sing and you can really play
You're the real thing and your heart's in the right place

Hung up, I was lifted, turned my head up to the rain
Shortest day of winter but the light found me again
Found me again, the light came rolling in

Yeah, you're the best-kept secret in Silver Lane

Oh, you can sing and you can really play
You can build a plane, your heart's in the right place

You're the best-kept secret in Silver Lane
You're the best-kept secret in Silver Lane
You're the best-kept secret in Silver Lane
You're the best-kept secret in Silver Lane
