Lyrics:

I'll tell you a secret
that I don't even understand myself--
Long ago, yesterday, ten thousand years,
and I only remember it now, he said

"Not one word
Not one word"

Down by the graveyard
in the blaze and the press of the gold leaves--
It's there he would drive me sometimes,
praise me and kiss me and make me swear,

Not one word
Not one word, word

Sometimes I feel lucky.
Sometimes I can't get to sleep at night
I can't love anyone - let them love me
And I think that there is no place for me here,

In this world
In this world, world

What I remember
is not the kiss or the fear or his face
Long ago, yesterday, ten thousand years,
the torment of burning to say

Just one word
Just one word
Just one word
Just one word
No
