December, I was lost and dark and said I couldn't shake I called you in California and you answered right away You answered right away You picked up right away You were workin' at the table that your father made You were gonna teach guitar to half the kids across our lane All across the lane Half the kids across our lane You're the best kept secret in Silver Lane I talked about my misery, you called it pain of pain How we light a pile on until we go insane 'Til we go insane Until we go insane You're the best kept secret in Silver Lane Oh, you can sing and you can really play You're the real thing and your heart's in the right place Hung up, I was lifted, turned my head up to the rain Shortest day of winter but the light found me again Found me again The light came rolling in Yeah, you're the best kept secret in Silver Lane Oh, you can sing and you can really play You can build a plane Your heart's in the right place
