The Perfect Place to Hide — текст песни (Tim O`Brien)

I won`t say it`ll work for you but I know it did for me
When I found myself a special place where I`m happy with all I see
Now I make each day to go my way with a slow and steady speed
With a jeweler`s eye I`ve chipped away at the things I don`t need

Started out with one sip and it really doesn`t take too long
`Til you lose your need to turn around it doesn`t seem so wrong
Drown your head in a whiskey cloud `til you`re blind on every side
You never miss what`s going on it`s the perfect place to hide

Me I had a woman once, she said she`d see me through
But I guess I didn`t need her there was nothing that I could do
When she came up to me one day said it`s your drinkin` ways or me
I can`t live my life with one who`s too sick from drink to see

Now she`s gone it`s just as well I can live my life my way
I`m a simple man I didn`t do her wrong, she just got in my way
There`s no trick to the harvest if you never plant a seed
And this bottle here beside my bed it`s the only friend I need

Started out with one sip and it really doesn`t take too long
`Til you lose your need to turn around it doesn`t seem so wrong
Drown your head in a whiskey cloud `til you`re blind on every side
You never miss what`s going on it`s the perfect place to hide
