This is from a great songwriter out of Denver, John Common. I don't know what his new website is, if there is one or not. The Rainville site doesn't work anymore. :( I amost went to see him last night, but damn was I tired! If anyone has corrections to these lyrics, please let me know... I jotted these down by listening to a bootleg. I need to get the real album!
Can't Hide
Rainville
Have I ever told you
Have you ever thought to ask
Would you ever wonder or worry
About the things in my past
Sometimes you catch me thinking
I'm miles away
Sitting in the middle of the kitchen
With a strange look on my face
I should do a better job
Shouldn't lock you out
I'm gonna swing these doors wide open
And let you walk around
[chorus]
I can't hide from you
I don't try anymore
I'm an aweful lier
And I hate closed doors
You know it makes me tired
And I cannot hide
(Can't hide)
Not from you
I want to take you to Memphis, Texas baby
To this little bar I know
I want to take you to Flowers, Mississippi
And the color grows like snow
I want to take you to Pensacola
On the way back home
Introduce you to my brothers
When I know that I'm not alone
[repeat chorus]
Sometimes early in the morning
I watch you sleep
Lying there just like an angel
You know it makes me think
I should do a better job
Shouldn't lock you out
I'm gonna swing these doors wide open
And let you walk around
[repeat chorus]
And I don't want to
you lay there just like an angel
you lay there just like an angel
You know it makes me think
I think it makes me think
It makes me think
I think it makes me think
It makes me think
