[Verse 1]
I'll tell you a secret
That I don't even understand myself—
Long ago, yesterday, ten thousand years
And I only remember it now, he said
[Chorus]
"Not one word
Not one word"
[Verse 2]
Down by the graveyard
In the blaze and the press of the gold leaves—
It's there he would drive me sometimes
Praise me and kiss me and make me swear
[Chorus]
Not one word
Not one word, word...
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I feel lucky
Sometimes I can't get to sleep at night
I can't love anyone—let them love me—
And I think that there is no place for me here
[Chorus]
In this world
In this world, world...
[Verse 4]
What I remember
Is not the kiss or the fear or his face
Long ago, yesterday, ten thousand years
The torment of burning to say
[Chorus]
Just one word
Just one word
Just one word
Just one word
No
