"Secret Garden" - Bruce Springsteen

This song gets inside of me and takes me to a place I haven't been to in a long time. It's nowhere I want to be in right now, but every now and then I invite it in just so I can recall what it felt like to be this wanted. The kind of connection I found in the last year falls into all sorts of categories, but not one has ever come close to this. It's literally impossible with where my heart and mind is at this moment. And although I miss it so damn much it hurts to reflect on it even as I write this, I know it will take even more time to allow myself to feel it again. I'm just happy I got a chance to feel it at all.


Lyrics:

She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides

She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' 'round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice

You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get
To that place where you can't remember

And you can't forget

She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
Then she'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away
