Lyrics

[00:24.55] Once a peaceful man laid his old head down by a river,
[00:29.56] Thought about his childhood life, and father and forgiver,
[00:33.60] Who couldn't hide away, hide away
[00:43.19] He controlled the horses with a handclap or a whisper,
[00:47.54] Drink he couldn't combat but in all he was no sinner,
[00:51.39] Who couldn't hide away, hide away
[01:00.94] He told all his sons of all the antics of a venture,
[01:08.04] Then he told another one who drove himself to drink
[01:12.84] Not to hide away, hide away
[01:23.10] Better men have realised alone is not a venture,
[01:27.59] A peaceful man would realise alone is no adventure,
[01:31.65] Just to hide away, hide away
[01:41.05] He told all his sons of all the antics of adventure,
[01:47.47] Then he told another one who drove himself to drink
[01:52.73] Not to hide away, hide away, hide away, hide away, hide away, hide away...
