The Secret - Eric Burdon

I jused to watch you Jules LeBlanc

When you thought no one was around

I watched you walk down to the bayou’s edge

And gently lay your body down

Your secret was my secret

And it was all that I could do to keep it

Keep it to myself and the power that I felt

But somebody must have seen

And burned a sacred candle in my name

Because now there’s a spell on me

And I’m caught up in your purgatory chain

They found a body just this morning

Out behind St. Genevieve

That’s the sacred place I won’t let them desecrate

The shrine you built for me

Because your secret is still my secret

And if it means I’ll have to lose my life to keep it

I’ll take it to my grave for the love we never made

Because somebody followed me and

Spoke a lover’s curse into our flame

But now I can’t runaway

Because I’m caught up in your purgatory chain

I’m on fire …

I’m moanin' mmm… Yeah

Your secret is still my secret

And it have to lose my life to keep it

I’ll take it to my grave for the love we never made

But somebody must have seen

And burned a sacred candle in my name

Because now there’s a spell on me

And I’m caught up in your purgatory chain

I’m your slave you’ve got me chained

No matter how far you go

No matter where you’re headed

When you get there I will be there

Waiting waiting in the rain

Your secret is still my secret

And if it means I’ll have to lose my life to keep it

I’ll take it to my grave

For the love we never made

But somebody must have seen

And burned a sacred candle in my name

Because now there’s a spell on me

And I’m caught up in your purgatory chain

I’m your slave

You’ve got me chained
