No Place To Hide

When I was a child

I used to love to watch the rain

I'd stand under the downspout

Let the water cool my brain

I never thought to worry

If the river rose too high

That all the seeds we planted

Would get washed out with the tide

But now I am a man

And I need a place to hide

[Chorus:]

But there's nowhere to run

And there's no place to hide

Where the water runs free

And the mud starts to slide

When I was a young man

I could work through wind and rain

I never thought to worry

Had no reason to complain

I thought that I was standing

On a rock so firm and strong

But it was easy then to see

Just what was right

And what was wrong

But now I am a man

I won't be hanging round too long

When I was a child

I used to love to watch the rain

I'd stand under the downspout

Let the water cool my brain

I never thought to worry

If the river rose too high

And all the dreams we planted

Would get washed out with the tide

[Chorus]

Where the water runs free

And the mud starts to slide
