I have a secret

Shhh

No one must know

For the secret my heart does show

Is one that No one must know

If one should hear of

This mystery on mine

Then I'm not sure what

Their fate will be

Shhh

Do not speak

For the walls have ears

And the birds have wings

Which will carry the words

That you may speak

To one who does not need

To know this confidential

Classified matter of mine

Shhh

I know my eyes are weak

I need to say it before

I can no longer speak

The end is near

But this event

This top secret incident

Can never be revealed

So I suppose I will

Make a saying literal

I took the secret to my grave
