The secrets that you hide

When i look down
deep inside
I am looking for the
secrets that you hide

some guys thought
they were in a box
by your bedside
locked with a key
where they could find
no entry

others wished
they were supplied
as if they could
find them with
their slight of hand

but when i look
down deep inside
I'm looking for
the secrets that you hide

could they be in a
chest of drawers
that squeak when you
open them
or under a floor board
up in the attic

could be on
a pony's mane
in the stables
or behind the sauna
where the fishing nets hang
near the picnic table

maybe

some think
they belong
to your first
party dress

or the collage that
you made
when you were
fifteen, when
you look at it now
it looks like
a treasure map mess
unkempt and unseen

but when i
look down deep
inside
I'm looking for
the secrets that
you hide

Johnny thought
it was in the kiss
he stole when
you were 21
when you stood
by the lake
and you let your
hair down that night
the moon sure
was shining
so bright

It lit up his cheekbones
and softened his lips
and you were both
ready to cast off
your clothes and
skinny dip

and you did

but when i
look down deep
inside
I'm looking
for the secrets
that you hide

Jimmy thought
it was a time
when you raced
fast on the back
of his motorcycle
in leather and lace

sitting in front of Mac Donalds
on Sveavägen
both of you posing
in place

but when I look
down deep inside
I'm looking
for the secrets that you hide

Charlie thought
when you had
your first child
a miracle had passed
and that all between you
would magically
transcend
and that
your domestic quarrels would
come to an end

now every other week
pending divorce
you meet to discuss
schedules and homework
and separate holidays
and try to speak
like adults do
However,
July can only be cut
into so many pieces

but, when I
look down deep
inside
I'm looking
for the secrets that
you hide

a fortune teller once asked
me this question:

'When you open
an orange
you find a seed,

What do you
find when you
open the seed'?

Is it the secrets
that you hide?
