Lyrics

Words and music: amy ray

I'm harboring a fugitive a defector of a kind
And she lives in my soul and drinks of my wine
And I'd give my last breath to keep us alive

Are they coming for us with cameras or guns
We don't know which, but we gotta run
And you say this is not what I bargained for

So hide yourself for me
All for me

We swore to ourselves we'd go to the end of the world
But I got caught up in the whirl and the twirl of it all
A day in the sun dancing alone
Baby, I'm so sorry

Now it's coming to you the lessons I've learned
Won't do you any good cause you've got to get burned
The curse and the blessing they're one and the same
Baby it's all such a treacherous gain

Hide yourself for me
I said hide yourself for me
All for me

I stood without clothes and danced in the sand
I was aching with freedom and kissing the damned
I said remember this as how it should be

Baby, I said, it's all in our hands
Got to learn to respect what we don't understand
We are fortunate ones, fortunate ones, I swear

Hide yourself for me
I will hide myself for you
All for you, all for you (i will hide myself for you)
I will hide myself for you
All for you

I stood without clothes I danced in the sand
I was aching with freedom I was kissing the damned
I said remember this as how it should
