To Hide A Little Thought Lyrics & Chords By Hefner

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 wink pervaded all
Just a stray little stray, stray, stray
By tryin' to hide if I'd asked it to stay
By tryin'to hide if I'd made it a bed
From which to rule the world unsaid
To hide a little thought
A little vagabond
A sprite in the dark
That wouldn't move along
Many thoughts they come and go
This too shall pass, she'll never know
But since my way is bold and free
She noticed somethin' strange in me
Maybe my voice speeded up or slowed down
Maybe my eyes started dartin' 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 along
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 along
