Hideaway - The Weepies, Deb Talan, Steve Tannen

Take the sky

For example

A canvas of a billion suns

But our local hero

Shines them out by day

Save for the winking of a Venus or Mars

Even the stars

Sometimes fade to grey

Even the stars

Hideaway

I see the bare moon

Raise its big bald head

I see my friends play the fool

I’ll make my own way

In the wide world

Just now I don’t want to wander too far

Even the stars

Sometimes fade to grey

Even the stars

Hideaway

Even the stars

Sometimes fade to grey

Even the stars

Hideaway

Some will call me all kinds of names

Some will say I don’t play the right kind of game

I try to be honest

I try to be kind

And honestly leave when I know that it’s time

I know that it’s time

Hear a phoebe sing his only song

The summer’s day is hovering

I’ll ride my full heart

Troubles fly like embers

Out the windows of our traveling car

Even the stars

Sometimes fade to grey

Even the stars

Hideaway
