My mom gave me the best birthday present of all time, a guitar for my 14th birthday. My first public performance on guitar was at her funeral less than two years later. My sister and I learned some surprising and sad things about her life that she kept to herself. This one's for her, written around the 47th anniversary of her death from cancer.

lyrics

The Secrets We Keep (July 2014)

Her hidden history she left untold
Shrouded in mystery for reasons unknown
Dark memories buried deep
The secrets we keep

They married just before Pearl Harbor Day
Lost to the fog of war, the world turned to gray
Dreams haunting deepest sleep
The secrets we keep

What do you do when they’re gone?
How can we all carry on?

And when her spark was gone, we were left in the dark
She gave up everything and it broke her heart
Forever in her debt
The secrets she kept

What do you do when they’re gone?
How can we all carry on?
