Afraid

from Secretaries by Kirkwood

/

lyrics

I'm locked up tight
I will take it to my grave
I'm given to living
In Mediocrity

I'm stolen by grace
Into slavery
Why my brothers are safe
Is still a mystery

I was afraid
You'd come for me

Look up to the sky
Please don't turn me in
They all know where I've been
And still I'm left behind

They answer who I am
Before the words can leave my mouth
They've already found me out
And still I can't explain

I was afraid
That you'd come for me

You two sisters are
So taken up with me
One I know well
The other left the country

And this won't do
I'm not clean I've got no clothes
And if the tailor doesn't show
Then I won't move

I was afraid
That you'd come for me

You lifted me up onto my knees
Into slavery
Your death I'll keep

This life I'll keep
