Veil of Secrecy

Hark! Like the caw of the crow –
Tell me now – I need to know –
What it is you hide – from me –
Beneath that veil – of secrecy –

Tell me now – tell me here –
Tell me right – tell me – dear –
Tell me day and tell me night –
Tell me and I'll make it right –

From the fronds of truth you bear –
Know you cannot ever err –
Know you can that it is safe –
Safe with my un-lying face –

Know you can that it's secure –
A secret I will ne'er betray –
Keep it safe – I will for sure –
Keep it safe in night and day –

I shall listen – close now – here –
Tell me what you hold so dear –
That you should hide it from me –
Beneath that veil of secrecy –
