lyrics

When you close your eyes and count to ten, I hide away
Behind the curtains, under the stairs, I hide away
I hide where no-one else can ever find me
I hide away

When you come to me asking questions I hide away
Where do I come from, what am I doing here, I hide away
I hide from anything that might cause me pain
I hide away

Like a butterfly growing its wings, I hide away
Like a blackbird learning the songs it’s going to sing, I hide away
I hide from anyone who might let me down again
I hide away

Don’t ask me what I do or what I do it for
Don’t ask me where I’m going or where I was before

I hide away from eloquence
I hide away from innocence
I hide from anybody else
But most of all I hide from myself

When you close your eyes and count to ten
I’ll be gone
