This old world's got its secrets to keep
This old world's got its secrets to keep
If it's certainy that you want, you can wish away all the doubts that haunt
But this world's got its secrets to keep

Back and forth under blue heaven
Back and forth under blue heaven
Oh, the places we have been, all this troubled time wandering
Back and forth under blue heaven

Don't ask yourself if you want to die on the road
Just ask yourself if this is the road you want to die on

This old world's got its secrets to keep
This old world's got its secrets to keep
If it's certainty that you crave, you'll be following it to your grave
Cause the world's got its secrets to keep

Back and forth under blue heaven
Back and forth under blue heaven
Oh, the loves that we have passed, we were winding our ways fast
Back and forth under blue heaven

Don't ask yourself if you want to die on the road
Just ask yourself if this is the road you want to die on

Out of the blue, and into the black
Out of the blue, and into the black
What it's like I wish they'd say, but they never come back this way
It's just out of the blue, and into the black

This old world's got its secrets to keep
This old world's got its secrets to keep
If it's certainy that you seek, you can wish away all the doubts that creep
But this world's got its secrets to keep
