Hiding Place

from Dandelion by Sky Hank

/

about

A song that came to be about ghosts just perceptible at the limits of our senses and memories


Played on electric guitars, analog synth, melodica, drum set, sleigh bells, shakers, and a digitally manipulated cymbal track

lyrics

as a child, where did you go to hide your precious things
souvenir pennies, plastic diamond rings
where are they now? precious as they were
you have forgotten why you kept them safely there
memory dims in you. dies, or is it killed
to be stashed in some small place for dust alone to fill

sleeping on your tongue the names of all your mothers
the memories that you share still all but unrecovered
the part of you that's still there, in your hiding place

you're not the one who made it, this hiding place
you feel as you reach in
a thrill inside you
a chill behind

by the woodpile find a jack knife in the clover
its past mystery you have now taken over
you hear a laughing bird from in the brush, you are alone
the chill you feel again a loving touch you've always known
turn about yourself in the innocent air
run to your hiding place
