Hide And Seek

Album: The Fooler (2023)

  • The terrors of my youth
    Lay in the hours
    Right before bed
    In the unlit hall and under-stairs
    Shadows growing in my head

    And swimming between docks,
    Kelp tangling my feet -
    Could be hunters of the deep
    Hungry creatures' waiting teeth

    Essentially all unknowns
    Nothing like unringing phones
    And now the thing that haunts me
    Before I sleep
    is a little children's game
    Called

    Hide & Seek
    Just a little game we both will play
    Hide & Seek
    Will I run or do I stay
    Every day about this time
    I'm a little more aware
    Of the shadows of the palms
    Growing ever long
    And all the freighters out there
    Queuing up at sea
    They all look like little toys to me
    Nowadays
    The things that seem so big and terrifying

    Are setting suns
    And scanning bars
    And peering through windshields of
    Darkened cars
    And it's getting dark
    And we
    Are about to play Hide and Seek

    Just a little game we like to play
    Wonder if tonight you're gonna stay
    Depending on the mood
    Or day of the week
    Hide and Seek
    I keep trying to find the words to keep you near
    Next thing I know I find you've disappeared
    I find us
    Playing
