As the story goes
Only the young men know
These secrets that follow thee
This deceit that reckons thee
A forbidden passion
Reserved in rations
These secrets beckon she

For all the ships
In all the seas
Only the young men know
The dreams she used to
dream
So it seems
You deny her screams
That ever longing need

Only the young men know
The story that is told
She once had a lover
Then she carried four other
If only did you know?
That her love soon bode

Only the young men know
These secrets that heed thee
These secrets that follow thee
Into the deepest of trees
A hurt, so threatening

Only the young men know
What her future holds
And so, she must know
How much promise it hold's
If only could she learn

Lost In the mist of the night
She soon earns her light
Shinning so bright
No longer afraid
of what lurks in the night

And as the story goes
Only the young men know
These secrets that live in thee
