Hidden Away Down - johnny clegg

作词：Johnny Clegg

作曲：Johnny Clegg/Johnny Clegg

Clear summer day

You became the prey

You gave your best defense

Your smile was just pretense

You want to shout nothing comes out

A shadow blocks the sun

Where does that day live

Where part of you did drown

Hidden away down

Hidden away down deep inside

Didn't the day drown

Didn't the day drown in the night

You're running away now

You're running away till the morning light

A criminal take down

A criminal take down with no fight

Pretend confidence

Keep the beast at bay

Like a fugitive

It's you yourself you blame

Sparrow sing the morning in

You feel the light of day

Can the promise of redemption

Reach that place

Hidden away down

Hidden away down deep inside

Didn't the day drown

Didn't the day drown in the night

You're running away now

You're running away till the morning light

A criminal take down

A criminal take down with no fight

The world breaks everyone

And after which you will find some

Stronger in their broken parts

In the wild mountain of their hearts

Love can mend a broken soul

But who can trust a heart not whole

Waiting for the wounds to close

In that dark place

Hidden away down

Hidden away down deep inside

Didn't the day drown

Didn't the day drown in the night

You're running away now

You're running away till the morning light

A criminal take down

A criminal take down with no fight

You're running away now

You're running away till the morning light

A criminal take down

A criminal take down with no fight
