A Venture

Yes

Once a peaceful man laid his old head down by a river
Thought about his childhood life
His father and forgiver
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
Couldn't hide away
Hide away

He told all his sons of all the antics of adventure
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 adventure
Then he told another one who drove himself to drink
Not to hide away
Hide away

Hide away
Hide away
Hide away
Hide away
Hide away ...
