Lyrics A Place To Hide - Keith Emerson

A Place To Hide

Missed you at the table
Telling how the world was round
Fable after fable
Lost and turned around
Cold beneath the ground
Laughing with the devils
Skipping on the seas of chance
The playing fields were level
Until I got the news
If I could be near you
If I could hear you
Maybe these fears of mine would fall away
I need a place to hide
And I need a face to smile upon a frozen world
And that’s all we ever have to be
Appeared out of a blue day
Proved just how it all could fly
Shook hands with the shades of doubt
And held them to the sky
If I could see you
Then I could free you
And maybe these cares of mine would crawl away
I need a place to hide
And I need a space where I can touch the golden girl
And that’s all I ever wanted to see
I need a place to hide
And I need a face to smile upon a frozen world
And that’s all we ever have to be
To be…
