Is that you peeking out from that hat

Hide and seeking behind a drink that's gone flat

Is that you peeking out from your tree

Hide and seeking from everyone here but me



Your hands are shaking and I know what they did

Hide and seeking they never found you as a kid

Your branch is breaking

You'll find another downtown

Hide and seeking

Coming crashing to the ground



Hide and seeking for children baby

Now it's hid and sought

Another week and you'll see yours maybe

They treat you like some kinda outlaw



Black night is falling this is the blues you see

Hide and seeking father son and holy me

You speak in parables

You're looking terrible tonight

Hide and seeking

I wonder if you need a light





Hide and seeking pa

Hide and seeking ma
