(A Place To) Hideaway Lyrics

I've got to find a place to hideaway
Far from the shadows of my mind
Sunlight and laughter, love ever after
Oh how I long to find a place to hide away

I hear you whisper and I must obey
Blindly I follow where you lead
Knowing tomorrow, brings only sorrow
Where can I go to find a place to hide away?

Bright coloured pinwheels go round in my head
I run through the mist of the wine
But night and the music remind me instead
The world once was mine

I'll save my pennies for a rainy day
But where can I buy another you?
Dreams are for sleeping, love is for weeping
For how I long to find a place to hide away

But night and the music remind me instead
The world once was mine

I'll save my pennies for a rainy day
But where can I buy another you?
Dreams are for sleeping, love is for weeping
For how I long to find a place to hide away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
