To Hide A Little Thought

I tried to hide a little thought

The more I tried the worse things got

It started out so meek and small

But in a week pervaded all

Just a stray little stray, stray, stray

In trying to hide it I asked it to stay

In trying to hide it I'd made it a bed

From which to rule the world unsaid (From which to conquer the world unsaid)

To hide a little thought, a little vagabond

A sprite in the dark that wouldn't move a long.

Many thoughts they come and go

This to shall pass she'll never know

Since my way is bold and free

She noticed something strange in me

Mabye my voice speeded up or slowed down

Maybe my eyes started darting around

Maybe my hands started coverin' my face

Maybe I rambled all over the place...

To hide a little thought, a little vagabond

A sprite in the dark that wouldn't move a long.

I don't say each thing on my mind

To say each thing would be unkind

But with someone I know so well

It's so unlike me not to tell

Usually I like confrontations, I do

I get this thrill out of sayin' what's true

I look so lifeless when I try to lie

That's why it's easy to tell when I try...

To hide a little thought, a little vagabond

A sprite in the dark that wouldn't move a long.
