A Venture

Once a peaceful man laid his old head

Down by a river

Thought about his childhood life

His father and forgiver

Who couldn't hide away

Hide away

He controlled the horses with a

Handclap or a whisper

Drink he couldn't combat

But in all he was no sinner

Who couldn't hide away

Hide away

He told all his sons of all the

Antics of a venture

Then he told another one

Who drove himself to drink

Not to hide away

Hide away

Better men have realised

Alone is not a venture

A peaceful man would realise

Alone is no adventure

Just to hide away

Hide away

He told all his sons of all the

Antics of a venture

Then he told another one

Who drove himself to drink

Not to hide away

Hide away

Hide away

Hide away

Hide away

Hide away
