She Hides Behind The Sun

My lover’s just a simple girl her head is in the sand

She talks in mathematics that I just don’t understand

But no one ever catches her she hides behind the sun

And she is not afraid of anyone

 

And sometimes when the nights are cold she lies so close to me

I try to whisper gentle things but she says let it be

Oh no one ever catches her she hides behind the sun

And she is not afraid of anyone

 

I could have made something of my life so goodbye

I could have been someone very nice how I tried

But nothing mattered much to me

I spent a lifetime by the sea

The mountain ranges heard my song

The young girls laughed and sang along

They sang along they sang along

 

Now I don’t really understand just what you see in me

I left my wife and children for a love that could not be

But no one ever catches me I hide behind the sun

And I am not afraid of anyone

Oh I am not afraid of anyone
