Take it to his Grave

from The Big Reveal (album) by Casual Fantastic

/

lyrics

He's gonna take it to his grave
And that's never going to change
No matter what you say or do
Whether kind or cruel
He'll take it to his grave
He'll hold on to it because it's his alone
What value does he have if he lets it known?
Only he knows what he knows
And if he told you, you might go
And not come ‘round again
He's gonna talk about the sun
About the clouds, about the rain
About all sorts of things
He’ll dance around his memories
So much time went in between
A whole life you'd had and burned before seeing him again
Now he asks about your hair
If you take your kids to the fair
Like he once took you . . .
But he's gonna take it to his grave
Leave a bigger hole than when you came
It's not hate it's just his way
A man greedy with his secrets
Take it to his grave
Take it to his grave
Like the Pharaohs buried with their things
It’s his treasure to take with him
It may be hurtful and a shame
But that's all he's got so it’s what he’s taking
He’s gonna take it
Take it yeah
He's gonna take it to his grave
And still you can't walk away
