Hiding

Just got back from a family visit in Ontario and at some point we had a discussion about the old "drop-in visit". As much as everyone talks about missing the old days of unannounced visits, we basically concluded that it was a pain in the ass to end up hosting and cooking and giving up your day for your second cousins or whoever because they happened to be in town. Also, payphones existed so it's not like it was impossible to call ahead. The point of this preamble basically means I was inspired by this conversation to write some lyrics and got most of it done on the trip back home. I haven't sang much in the last year so vocals are serviceable but I'm pretty happy that I got to spend some quality time on this track. Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Picture of the Fox running down King
Built up storeys and motors sing
The garage door is peeling again
Engine's getting near, I've got a strange feeling
I've got a strange fear you're dropping in
Wish I could say it's okay again
But I'm hiding today, I'm hiding today
It's always people coming, people going
People going
Away
I can see it coming, you're rolling downstream
Picking up pieces of everything
A love so big, I don't know what it means
Shut it all out, I don't even dream
Couldn't even fathom anything
Anything and everything again
But I'm hiding today, I'm hiding today
It's always people coming, people going
People going
Away
