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. (Guitar) 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.
