A Place To Hide - Keith Emerson

Missed you at the table

Telling how the world was round

Fable after fable

Lost and turned around

Cold beneath the ground

Laughing with the devils

Skipping on the seas of chance

The playing fields were level

Until I got the news

If I could be near you

If I could hear you

Maybe these fears of mine would fall away

I need a place to hide

And I need a face to smile upon a frozen world

And that’s all we ever have to be

Appeared out of a blue day

Proved just how it all could fly

Shook hands with the shades of doubt

And held them to the sky

If I could see you

Then I could free you

And maybe these cares of mine would crawl away

I need a place to hide

And I need a space where I can touch the golden girl

And that’s all I ever wanted to see

I need a place to hide

And I need a face to smile upon a frozen world

And that’s all we ever have to be

To be…
