Story Behind The Song

If you keep secrets, you must make sure they are safely hidden, and close the lid on the box.

Song Description

In the song, the lid of the box is open and all of Pandora's secrets are flying around. If they land, people will know all sorts of 'naughty' secrets.

Lyrics

?Pandora?s box?

Pandora?s box is open
secrets fill the air,
some alight upon you
others do not dare.
fast they flee
the tranquil night
thick with honeyed wings
?do not dwell on us?, they cry,
taste what morning brings.
No fleeing stirs the morning air,
no whispers of the night,
no mist from boxes in the sky
hides the early light,
each thought is dew on jasmine
each word, caressed anew,
Pandora, all the world now knows
the secrets about you
Pandora, keep your secrets
don?t let the world peep in,
like letters from a sweetheart
seal your secret tin.

Pandora, keep your secrets,
don?t let them get away
for, they may land upon the hands
of one who bids you stay.

I?m a secret flying
and wonder where I?ll land,
Pandora, if you want me
catch me in your hand

Pandora cannot catch me
in her pretty hand
